He also determined the length of the sidereal year to within 25 seconds, and measured Earth's axial tilt more accurately than either Nicolaus Copernicus or Tycho
Brahe.

Brahe observed, and very soon Prague Castle comes into sight.
The discussions include well-known figures like Francesco Petrarca, Lorenzo Valla, Desiderius Erasmus, Juan Luis Vives, Thomas More, Justus Lipsius and Tycho
Brahe, but also writers like Eobanus Hessus and Juan Luis de la Cerda who are likely to be known only to specialists and others like Prospero Intorcetta and Johannes Ludovicus Praschius who are likely to be unknown to most readers, even experienced Neo-Latinists.
Focusing on five main figures--Copernicus, Tycho
Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, and Sir Isaac Newton-- the author takes readers through a 150-year period that revolutionized the way in which humans understood their place in the universe.
The featured scientists range from Tycho
Brahe to Kate Marsden and Jiro Yonekura.
Of the former, the author presents a familiar account of the initial publication of Copernicus' path-breaking treatise; its reception among a small group of followers; the difficulties of "proof" faced by these early astronomers (e.g., one can "explain" many observations equally with the Copernican or the Ptolemaic theory); and the roles of Georg Rheticus, Erasmus Rheinhold, Tycho
Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and the lesser-known Paul Wittich, among others, in disseminating the new theory.
Kepler's Somnium, which describes his magic-practising mother and his 'half-savage' upbringing, provocatively parallels the untold story of Caliban and Sycorax even as it makes explicit reference to the island observatory of Tycho
Brahe. Sokol's complete omission of Tycho, the alchemist-cum-astronomer, is puzzling.

BraheA famous and controversial illustration of this dilemma is the story of Danish astronomer Tycho
Brahe and German mathematician Johannes Kepler.
The movement of the celestial bodies follow rules which were identified by three scientists: a Dane, Tycho
Brahe (1546-1601), a German, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727).
A young Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe (1546-1601), usually known by his first name, watched the new star carefully from night to night.
