His image belongs on the mustache thread!

[Verginius Rufus]

So one possibility is that he died from drinking too much ice tea? What would they do if they determined that he was murdered? The man who was king of Denmark in 1601 is dead now.

If Brahe had lived a few years longer, he would have been able to use a telescope...all of his meticulous observations were made with the naked eye. But if he had lived longer, it might have been longer before Kepler had a chance to use his notes to make his discoveries--or maybe Kepler would never had a chance, and Mars' orbit would still be a circle with a lot of epicycles.

I remember learning about Tycho Brahe back in that Astronomy Class in the mid 1970s. The history of astronomy was very fascinating. I loved that Course for the first 2 classes.

We learned about Kepler, Newton, Galileo, and a host of others.

Then it got down to the physics.

Toughest Course that I ever took. I felt fortunate to pass that one. It was all, as I said above, fascinating to me though.

"His favourite pet was a moose that entertained the guests at his castle on the island of Hven off the Danish coast, accompanied by a supposedly clairvoyant dwarf named Jepp. The moose died after falling down the stairs following a dinner party when it was given too much beer to drink."

Telegraph.

his bladder burst after his good manners would not allow him to leave a banquet before the emperor did.

That happened to me once but I didn't die......
