Tycho Brahe lived during the Roman Empire in the 2nd century, and his works, including "Geographia" and "Astronomical Encyclopedia," established him as a giant in the field of astronomy. However, his cosmology was filled with complex theories attempting to explain the irregularities in celestial motion. Despite his eccentric model being intricate, it failed to fully account for astronomical phenomena. Ultimately, his theories were criticized for containing numerous errors and fabricated data. In the 17th century, Newton exposed Brahe's various mistakes and fraudulent practices by comparing his observational data, leading to Brahe's transformation from a respected astronomer to a discredited figure.
