What did Tycho Brahe see in the sky that convinced him that the heavenly firmament was not as unchanging perfect as previously believed?
If this is a homework question, you'd better search your book thoroughly for the answer, because they probably want a specific wording.
However, the basic reason is because he knew they weren't. He made an unprecedented number of planetary observations, and it was clear to him that none of the charts adequately explained their apparent motions. Kepler would later use Brahe's observations to deduce his laws of planetary motion.
Brahe himself seems to have favored yet another incorrect model, in which the Sun and the Moon orbited the Earth and the other planets orbited the Sun. (Mathematically this is equivalent to the heliocentric model, but had some advantages if you were Catholic in the 16th century and didn't want to get excommunicated, particularly if you were very careful to explain that it was simply a mathematical convenience and of course everything orbited the Earth as God had clearly ordained.)

Did the firmament filter the sun in the Garden of Eden?
The firmament is as imaginary as the Garden of Eden. Consider the evidence: Genesis 1:7 says that the firmament divided the waters above from the waters below. Genesis 1:14-17 says that God set the sun, moon and stars in this firmament, just above the earth. We know that neither of these descriptions is true - there is no water above, because the rain originates in evaporation from the ocean; the sun, moon and stars are far distant from the earth. If we did believe that the sun was set in the firmament, as the ancients believed, then of course the firmament would not filter its light.
