“Tycho Brahe (1546-1601)”
By Tim Linder
Tycho Brahe was a well known
astronomer of the late 1500’s. He
made many important contribu
tions to the world of astronomy
and he was the last great
astonomer of the pre-telescopic
era.
Tycho Brahe was born in 1546.
In 1560 when he was 14 years old
he was so impressed by a solar
eclipse that he became interested
in astronomy.
In the latter half of the 1500’s
ments of star positions.
In 1572 Tycho made detailed
observations of a supernova.
These observations helped to
prove that the stars lie beyond
our atmosphere in a realm of
stars that was previously thought
to be unchanging.
In 1576 Tycho set up an
observatory on the island of Ven
which became the astronomical
center of the world. From this
observatory Tycho made the
most accurate measurements of
his time of the stars and planets.
With his accurate instruments
Tycho was even able to measure
the length of the year to within 1
second.
In 1599 Tycho was appointed
Imperial Mathematician by
Emperor Rudolf II. Tycho Brahe
died in 1601 leaving his
observations to determine some
of the basic laws of planetary
motion. Kepler also used Tychos
observations to prove the
Copernican theory of a suncen
tered solar system.
One night when it is clear and
the moon is full try to spot a
bright crater near the southern
limb of the moon. This is the
crater Tycho named after Tycho
Brahe.

Hypertension, more commonly
known as high blood pressure, is
responsible for 100 deaths a day
in this country, afflicting nearly
one out of every ten adults. The
most susceptible to it are those
with a family history of
hypertension and blacks, whose
risks are twice that of whites.
High blood pressure has been
compared to a time bomb —
silent until it explodes into a fatal
or crippling stroke, heart disease
or kidney failure.
Many who have this disease are
unaware of it and some that are
