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.
