HUGH PRUETT Aitronomar, Oragon Ganaral Extanilon DWiaion In tho commemoration of the life und work of it great aclon tiat, tho aatronnmlcnF world thin month rccalla that 400 ycara ago, December 14, 1S46, there waa born a Danlah boy who later became known aa the founder of practical aatronomy, Tyciio brahc (Tce-co Brah-h). Although of the nobility and given every consideration, Ty cho very early ahowed hia great ability an a hard-working stu dent. When no! quite 13 he en tered the Unlveralty of Copen hagen, where hia family expect ed him to study to be a states man. But this plan was upact about a year later when a well predicted partial eclipse of the un occurred. Young Tycho was so deeply impressed by the "al most divine" ability of those who had foretold the event, that he turned to mathematics and astronomy. Hia family In dis gust sent '.lim to Leipzig to study law In an effort to break his astronomical tendencies, but in vain. Further dismay poascsaed his aristocratic family and friends when many years later he mar ried a peasant girl. But it seems that the contracting parties lived happily together thereafter. Tycho at 26 gained much pub licity by his observations of and published report concerning the brilliant star which blazed out (15721 in Cassiopeia and for awhile was visible in daylight. This nova still holds an import ant place in astronomical rec ords. It was likely a supernova. Tycho's' fame aa an astrono mer traveled far. King Freder ick II of Denmark, a patron of learning, finally offered him the 20U0-acre Island of Hven (Ven), together with '.luge government monetary appropriations for building and equipping the finest observatory In the world and for providing his living expenses. A magnificent building of Gothic Renaissance style, elaborately decorated and surrounded by landscaped grounds, was con structed. This housed the as tronomer and his family, his as sistants and students, and the elaborate scientific instruments such as the world never before had seen. Tycho called his splendid ob servatory uranmorg, meaning Castle of the Heavens. Although telescopes were not in existence at that time, hkj precise angle measuring Instruments provided I means for a mass of valuable - scientific data accumulated dur I ing the 20 years of his strenuous i work on the island. Noted soien- ntlAI.D NKWS. KUmalh Falli. Ort. SATVRDAT. D, tl, !. ( ttn lists of all Europe visited Uranl-borg. Tycho never adopted the Co pernlcan theory of rotation and revolution of the earth. He con sidered the earth the fixed cen ter of the universe around which the' sun, moon and stars re volved. But he did believe the planets (other than the earth) re volved around the sun. How ever, his mass of observations were left to his pupil Kepler, who helped establish the Coper nican doctrine. A new Danish king finally provoked Tycho to move his ela borate instruments to Bohemia. All his records were still In the royal Library of Copenhagen at the beginning of World War II, but Uraniborg had centuries be fore become a mass of ruins.
