Explanation:
Tycho Brahe was the most meticulous astronomical observer of his time.
Brahe,
who lived between 1546 and 1601, set out to solve the day's most pressing astronomical
problem: to determine whether the
Earth or the
Sun was at the center of the
Solar System. To do this he and his assistants created
the first major astronomical observatory where they devised and used the most accurate
pre-telescopic astronomical instuments.
Tycho
Brahe thus compiled tables of precise measurements of the positions and brightnesses
of planets and stars.
Brahe never solved the Solar
System problem himself - but left data so impressively accurate his assistant
Johannes Kepler was able to develop definitive laws.
Brahe
is also
remembered
for witnessing a supernova in 1572, showing that the Great Comet of 1577 was not
an atmospheric phenomena, and for his
metal nose.
