Tycho Brahe

Tycho Brahe was a Danish astronomer known for his discoveries. He built Europe's most modern astronomical lab at the time and collected data about stars and planets/ He undermined Ptolemaic view and did not fully accept Copernicus' theory. He thought that planets revolved around the sun and that the Earth was stationary.

No it's not!!! :)

Yeah, I remember him from history class. He was some guy in the Scientific Revolution, if I am not mistaken.
