Tycho Brahe Research Paper

Improved Essays
To the Alhambra I brought a suitcase full of Tycho Brahe's works. I carry these works because they helped bring me to a revelation of the universe. I believed that God had placed the planets in a geometric formation of orbital spheres. Once I read Brahe's works I learned that I was wrong and instead I discovered “Kepler's three laws of planetary motion” which are important because they are an embodiment of my curiosity and research of the universe. I became famous over a topic I was wrong about and was shown otherwise by a deceased friend. Brahe's works help serve as a reminder that even when an idea that is strongly believed can quickly be proven wrong. Brahe's works show that what you do while you live may not change anything until after
