media type="custom" key="3133996"** __Tycho Brahe__  (1546-1601)  **    **//“With a firm and steadfast mind one should hold under all conditions, that everywhere the earth is below and the sky above, and to the energetic man, every region is his fatherland.” // **     Tycho Brahe was a Danish astronomer who worked under Johan Kepler. Kepler used Tycho's studies of the planets to prove Copernicus' heliocentric hypothesis. Tycho made many astronomical observations with the naked eye and collected data on planetary movements. He believed that in order to further develop people's understanding of the stars, that good observation was key. Because of this belief, Tycho built an observatory, Uraniborg, to study the movements of the heavens. He also built a domicile there in the observatory. Tycho's works effects our lives today because not only did he collect the most complete observations of the stars with the naked eye of the 16th century, his data helped Kepler prove Copernicus' theory of heliocentricity.    ** __Things Achieved by Tycho Brahe__ **
