Tycho Brahe built a small beautiful castle on the island Hven, located in between Denmark and Sweden. This castle, named Uraniborg, after Urania, the greek Goddess of the sky, was surrounded by a carefully organised garden. Close nearby, he made, an underground observatory, named Stjerneborg..
He compiled a catalogue with positions for 1004 stars that was unsurpassed in accuracy for more than 150 years.
One day,he closed his eyes and he saw little globes, numbers, sparkles of stars and an angel. Then he looked at the stars and he sarted to make his catalogue...
