Kopernikus, Brahe and The Spinning Earth

Copernicus theory of the solar system made him historic. The theory were that all planets, including Earth, orbit the sun, and that the Earth rotates its own axis. Tycho Brahe was imprisoned during his studies of Copernicus’s book and decided to become an astronomer. 1574 he taught astronomy at the University of Copenhagen. He accepted an offer from the Danish King Frederick II to build an observatory. Tycho chose the island of Ven, located in the Oresund, and there was Uraniborg, who became the most prominent observatory in Europe. There were many serious quarrels between the church and the arrogant astronomers. Often, it ended with tragic consequences for the scientists, but in the end the pioneers got their recognition of the Renaissance.
