You must have read Hamlet. Elcino, a small town in Denmark, has gained world fame thanks to Hamlet. Tycho Brahe, a great genius of science was born in this city!
Tycho Brahe noticed the constellations in the sky in amazement. He is looking at Jyotishkamandali. A thousand questions in my mind. He must know the story of any star. Listen to the mystery of Krishnanakshatra. The most surprising news is that all his life he saw the sky in Tycho Brahe but with the naked eye. Why or why not, telescopes have not been invented yet. We have to wonder how he knew so much by observing the sky with the naked eye! Today science has improved a lot. Today, state-of-the-art telescopes and binoculars have been installed in every laboratory. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Even the astronomers of the present age have unanimously acknowledged his superiority.
Come on, let's talk about Tycho Brahe's childhood days. He was born in 1546 to a zamindar dynasty in Denmark. His real name was Taiji.The days of childhood were spent with a childless uncle. Kaka was a man of another genre. He hated luxury life. What if he was a child of an aristocratic family, Kaka always wanted to be a human being and live in the heart of the society. Tyco became a scholar in various disciplines from his uncle at an early age. Vidya does not mean just biblical education. The vast world beyond the textbook, the world in which the sun shines and the moon shines, needs to know the nuances - that was Kakar's whole life's purpose! He was able to instill this in his nephew. Tycho also learned from Kakar how to continue his path by ignoring obstacles. So it was seen that the ten-year-old Taiji was wandering in the bosom of nature. He had a great hobby to know what the swarming bees were doing. Surprised, he could see the bloodshed at dusk. See, when suddenly the atmosphere of the sky is changing; A group of naughty black clouds are running from afar; Jhamjhamiye rain-soldiers have started their bondage-breaking torment!
Don't tell uncle, why is this? Is there really a dutti sitting behind the sky? When he suddenly gets angry, lightning strikes with a crackling sound! And his tears fell on the chest of the earth?
What else does poor uncle do, you have to listen to your nephew's gossip, and you have to tell fabricated stories. But his nephew Taiji could have caught him, says Kaka. Uncle had to correct the mistake immediately. In this way a beautiful friendship developed between uncle and nephew. Tycho Brahe wrote a song about Akash at the age of twelve. He composed the melody himself. He sang that song himself at the local festival. He had a heavy beautiful neck! When he sang with his eyes closed, everyone listened in amazement. They would have been happy to see this scattering of a teenage talent.
Everyone thought that in the future Tycho Brahe would be a famous poet-singer. His poems will touch the heart of man. But in reality it did not happen. After finishing school, Tycho became a student in philosophy and literature classes. Admitted to the University of Copenhagen.
At this time an accident happened in his life. Through this event, the future course of Tycho Brahe is determined. He thought he would become a literary man, become a scientist. Let's talk briefly about that incident.
August 1560. Some astrologers in Denmark have already predicted when the eclipse will occur. They also specified the time of acceptance.
At first no one paid attention to the matter. But it was seen that on a certain day the face of the sun was covered with a black sheet. Darkness came closer. The birds returned to the nest. The cold wind blew. The incident shocked Tycho Brahe. Tycho Brahe was absolutely overwhelmed. He realized that science was the undisputed truth. Emotion has no place in science. There is no room for imagination. That is true, science reveals him. He also realized that astrologers can talk a lot by calculating the motions of planets and stars. He was convinced that if we keep an eye on the planets and stars, we will be able to unravel the real mysteries of the universe.
From today, I will not write poems, I will not write songs, I will not give tunes. Tycho sat down with such a tough decision. Leaving all his work behind, he began to study Ptolemy's book on astronomy. The beginning is his fearless anagona in astrology.
Sixteenth-century astronomy took on a new form in his hands. The University of Leipzig in Denmark then became one of the centers of astronomical practice. The best scientists of the country were associated with this university.
Tycho has long wanted to be admitted to that university. He gave a letter to his father expressing his thoughts. He then enrolled in an astronomy class at the University of Leipzig.
As he read in class, he began to observe the sky. Sleepless nights would pass while staring at the sky. Tycho has no fatigue. He has decided that no matter what, the unknown of that eternal space must be revealed. Day after day began to pass. Friends began to think that Tycho might have lost his mind. No one would talk big with him. Tycho's eyes were full of dreams. The beard has grown on his face. He is not getting time to shave. Hand combing random hair. Forget to take a long bath. It's like a crazy crazy situation.As Tycho Brahe realized, we have not yet mastered the full knowledge of this branch of science, we have not yet fully grasped it. Most are obsessed with superstition. People observe the constellations of the sky through fearful curiosity. But why would that be? Nature has laid out its infinite mysteries all around us. Why don't we become enthusiastic students and enter that world? Why don't we look at natural phenomena in amazement!
On the night of November 11, 1572, he saw a very bright star in the sky. For a long eighteen months, Tycho Star analyzed in detail the differences in angular distance, color and light with his own equipment. In fact it was Nova meaning all the stars. Astronomer Tycho observed Nova at that time and wrote a book called 'The Novastella'.
Tycho Brahe's most significant contribution as an astronomer was to Europe. He was the first to make many astronomical instruments. In addition to the quadrant instrument, he made an archery sphere. He invented the 'Adelaide' device to understand the exact position of distant stars. It can be said that Tycho Brahe wanted to hit the very core of our natural consciousness. He devoted himself to making science more sophisticated. There were many obstacles along the way. In the end Tycho Brahe was able to overcome most of the obstacles.
He became acquainted with the writings of world-renowned scientists. In 1588, he published a book on comets, De Mundi Aetherii Recentioribus. While researching, he took himself to such a high level of knowledge that people looked at him in amazement!
Yet Tycho Brahe never forgot his childhood days. Kakar used to take permission before doing any work. The crow was the inspiration of all his work, the guide of his life.
The great scientist Tycho Brahe died in 1601 at the age of just 55. Yet we honor him as one of the greatest astronomers of all time.
