Astro-Hamlet (2) - Tycho Brahe's Heavenly Island
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
A Danish king gave
the great astronomer Tycho Brahe
an island
(where he created his Uraniborg observatory)
which was later confiscated from him
by another Danish king.
Despite his achievements in
stellar and planetary astronomy,
Tycho Brahe believed that
the planets revolved around the Sun,
and all of them circled the Earth,
which was the center of the Universe.
.
Tycho Brahe was a kind of Hamlet II
saved by Supernova SN 1572.
