My Career

I pursued a career as an astronomer and an alchemist. I combined the geometrical benefits of the Copernican system wtih the philosophical benefits of the Ptolemiac system and created my own model of the universe, and of course named it the Tychonic system. I worked primarily without telescopes and I became known to have the most accurate astronomical observations of my time. My assistant, Johannes Kepler, used my notes to continue my legacy and derived the laws of planetary motion.
