Birthdate Of Founder Of
Practical Astronomy Noted
Bv J. 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.
