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.
