What contributions did Tycho Brahe give to astronomy?
He made surprisingly accurate positional measurements of the brighter stars in the sky without the aid of a telescope. He did this through an important step in the scientific method…repeating your work. This helped make his measurements as accurate as they were. This information was passed on to one of his assistants, Johannes Kepler, who used the information to develop Keplers Laws of Planetary Motion. LOL…it wasn’t because of etiquitte that he died, it was a drinking game to try and hold your bladder as long as possible. At least that was the version I always liked. Actually, until recently, his death was famous enough in the astronomy world that I’ve heard various different stories. However, the banquet one was the main one, backed up by Kepler himself. From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t so much that it was rude to leave before the king, but that it was rude to leave the banquet all together before it was over. The problem is with recent evidence that has come up. High levels of me
