Tycho Brahe's Observatory

Abstract

IT was mentioned in a recent article on the tercentenary of Tycho Brahe's death (p. 6) that an account of excavations made in the island of Hveen has been published by Prof. Charlier, of Lund2 As Tycho's observatory has thus again attracted attention, it may not be out of place to give a short description of it as it was three hundred years ago, and of the very few remains of it now brought to light.
