Most Significant Contribution of My Person:

Danish astronomer whose work in developing astronomical instruments and in measuring and fixing the positions of stars paved the way for future discoveries. During a period of time loosely known as The Scientific Revolution, when modern science came of age (1550-1700), a few critical thinkers were responsible for transforming our understanding of the cosmos. At the time, people believed in a geocentric model of the universe with the Earth at the center. Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was a Danish nobleman and astronomer, and he was one of the individuals whose work helped overturn that belief in favor of a heliocentric model of the universe, with the Sun at the center.

Biography:

Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe made the most accurate celestial observations of his time and challenged the prevailing belief in how the universe was organized. And while most people may think of scientists as stodgy academic types, Brahe's flamboyant lifestyle and ignominious death would have made some of today's wild celebrities look like choirboys.
