Tycho Brahe was granted an estate on the island of [[Hven]] and the funding to build the [[Uraniborg]], an early [[research institute]], where he built large astronomical instruments and took many careful measurements. As an astronomer, Tycho worked to combine what he saw as the [[geometry|geometrical]] benefits of the [[Copernican system]] with the philosophical benefits of the [[Ptolemaic system]] into his own model of the universe, the [[Tychonic system]]. From [[1600]] until his death in [[1601]], he was assisted by [[Johannes Kepler]], who would later use Tycho's astronomical information to develop his own theories of astronomy. He is universally referred to as "Tycho" rather than by his surname "Brahe", as was common in Scandinavia.
