About this episode

The episode discusses the life and eccentricities of 16th century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.

Today we are talking about Tycho Brahe, a brilliant 16th century Danish astronomer - but also a bit of a kook. We are joined by Claire Hooper who is heading to Edinburgh this week, go see her show and say hi for us!
