Moonman, a big question. When Tycho Brahe figured out that comets existed outside the "celestial spheres" (this is back in the 1500s) did he also realize that sometimes large rocks (aka meteorites) strike the Earth, and sometimes comets strike the Earth, and when they do they leave surface deposits of various isotopes of Iron, different crystaline forms of iron, nickel, copper, silver, lead, GOLD, etc.

He was reputed to be worth 1% of the total wealth of Denmark. His cousins in Sweden were in control of the affairs of state during most of his life (he lived in Scania then under Swedish authority although he was a Danish nobleman).

He had a GOLD NOSE.

Why I'm asking is simple ~ I'm trying to tie him into some gold mining ventures that appear to have been lost to history, and whether or not he figured out that non glacial gold can be found where stones from space strike is very important.

BTW, I am certainly not going to tell you the nest steps, but you're a smart guy and should be able to reference some information to clue me in on this.

Sorry. I'm too busy trying to figure out why when you drop buttered toast it always lands on the floor buttered side down.

Two words in and I knew it was from you.
