Episode 5: Tycho Brahe - A Nose for Trouble
Copernicus may have proven the Earth goes around the Sun and not vice versa, and Galileo may have been the first person to view the heavens with a telescope, but between those two lies a lesser-known hero of astronomy. Tycho Brahe was the Danish nobleman who worked side by side with Johannes Kepler to build the Rudolphine Tables, one of the most comprehensive and precise star catalogues ever created. The thing is, for a noble Danish astronomer, his children were commoners, he was driven out of Denmark by an angry mob, and his dying wish to his best friend involved violating the laws of astrophysics. Listen to STEMs and Seeds to get the scoop on Tycho Brahe, Denmark's noseless hero!
