The observer and recorder of the positions of the stars and planets, more precise than anyone previously. His measurements allowed Johannes Kepler to develop the elliptical orbit theory of planetary motion.
A medieval/renaissance Danish astronomer.
Actually, it was the other way around. Johannes Kepler needed Tyco Brahe's detailed records of the paths of the planets in order to verify his theories regarding planetary motion. Tyco's observations were the most accurate at the time, so Kepler sought him out.
It is credited to Galileo however many men worked with the first telescopes to make astounding discoveries. Tyco Brahe is one of the first. There is a large crator on the moon named for him.
The island of Hven (in Danish) / Ven (in Swedish). It was Danish at Brahe's time, but is now Swedish.
Tycho Brahe was Danish.
Kepler did not literally steal Tycho Brahe's data; rather, he inherited it after Brahe's death in 1601. Brahe had meticulously collected astronomical observations over many years, but he had not fully analyzed them. Kepler, who had been working as Brahe's assistant, gained access to this invaluable data and used it to formulate his own laws of planetary motion, ultimately revolutionizing the understanding of celestial mechanics.
A "Tyco Brahe" may be alive, but the famous astronomer and alchemist born Tyge Ottesen Brahe is most certainly not. he died, 24 October 1601!!

Tycho never had a telescope to use. All of his observations were so-called "naked-eye" observations.
