Danish astronomer Tycho/Tyge Brahe (1546-1601) is immensely important for two reasons:
Observing and measuring the (rough) distance to a Supernova, thereby proving that the firmament was not a god-given stable sphere, but a dynamic system.
Making the most accurate measurements of planetary positions available at that time and for a long time thereafter. Brahe data was used by Kepler to develop his laws.
- The invention of a more complex and high quality telescope
- Discovered sunspots
- Discovered the 4 satelites of Jupiter
- First put forward the theory of a heliocentric model
Tycho Ottesen Brahe (1546-1601) spent a long time taking exact measurements of the sky from his observatory.
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) assisted Brahe and analized the data and extrapolated "The laws of motion" and discovered orbits were elliptical.
Tycho Brahe made accurate position readings of planets that provided the data that Kepler used in his analysis. Kepler's analysis established that the planets motion was elliptical around the sun, thus verifying Copernicus' theory.
Kepler's Laws was a great breakthru in Astronomy.
They proved nothing about the universe in general, but they did prove that all of the planets travel in elliptical orbits. From there, it was a brief step for Newton to jump to Calculus and universal gravitation.
Newton himself wrote "If I have seen farther than other men, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." Kepler and Copernicus were those giants.
The common contribution of all these guys is the courage to stand up for what they believed in. Copernicus believed the earth traveled around the sun; Galileo believed the same and also dared to look thru a telescope and see that the heavenly bodies were not perfect; Brahe believed in the power of data to understand nature; and Kepler analyzed data to discover laws of nature.
However, we would not have heard of any of these men if they did not have the courage to speak up for what they believed in. Believing something doesn't always make what you believe true, but truth is in your action. Walk the Talk.
Collecting data that enabled Kepler to discover the laws of planetary motion is the correct answer.
Tycho Brahe collected data about supernova stars that later enabled Kepler to discover the laws of planetary motion.
That's not exactly about MODERN astronomy, but I hope it helps.

I believe you are confusing two things here; there is no such thing as a "heliocentric model of telescope". There is a heliocentric model of our Solar System, and there are telescopes. The two are unrelated.
Johanes Kepler was a German astronomer. He revised the heliocentric model by demonstrating that the orbits are ellipses. glad if that helped you out :) xx
The planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered only in modern times after the heliocentric model had been generally accepted.
Are there any civilized peoples on earth who do not?
Either the heliocentric or the geocentric model would allow predictions of thefuture motions of the planets. It was not the inability to predict that sackedthe geocentric model. It was the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler'shypothetical ellipses helped a lot, and Newton's gravitation sealed the deal,when he showed that heliocentric, elliptical planetary orbits, just as Keplerdescribed them, had to spring forth from gravitation.

It was the model devised by Copernicus.

The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
Nicolaus Copernicus.
The scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. This period marked a shift in thinking from religious and philosophical explanations to empirical evidence and experimentation in understanding the natural world. The heliocentric model, proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo, challenged the geocentric view of the universe. Inductive reasoning, emphasized by Francis Bacon, promoted the use of observations and experiments to form general principles. Descartes, with his emphasis on rationalism and skepticism, contributed to the development of modern philosophy and science during this period.

Tycho Brahe made measurements of the planets' positions over time with greater accuracy than ever before. The results were used by Johannes Kepler to create the three laws of planetary motion in which the elliptical orbit makes its first appearance in the historyof scoentific thought. Later, Isaac Newton's discoveries in gravity and dynamics explained why elliptical orbits are so important and universal.
In the heliocentric model, the sun is at the center of our solar system and the earth is the third planet that orbits it.
The scientist made the heliocentric model of the solar system. It is a word for the graphical model of our solar system.
