      Kepler used Tycho’s data to work on his Astronomia Nova and Harmonices Mundi which comprised derivation and formulation of the laws of planetary motion in the Solar System.

      Tycho Brahe was the “teacher”
      Kepler was the “assistant”

      ps: even though you have blurred it in the actual image, on the bb page, the small image has more easy to read text.

      “Oh my nose:”
      Tycho lost his nose in a duel. He wore a fake nose made of Gold and silver (sometimes copper).
