"Tycho Brahe (/ˈtaɪkoʊ ˈbrɑː(hi), - ˈbrɑː(h)ə/ TY-koh BRAH(-hee) -⁠ BRAH-(h)ə; born Tyge Ottesen Brahe;[a] 14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601) was a Danish nobleman, astronomer, and writer known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations. He was born in the then Danish peninsula of Scania. Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist. He has been described as "the first competent mind in modern astronomy to feel ardently the passion for exact empirical facts." Most of his observations were more accurate than the best available observations at the time." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
