CHILDHOOD CHILDHOOD She was born in Knudstrup to Otte Brahe and Beate Bille Brahe.She was the little (10 years younger) sister of Tycho Brahe and assisted him with his astronomical observations that became the basis for modern planetary orbit predictions.

FAMILY LIFE Brahe married Beate Bille in Both the Brahes and the Billes were among the most powerful noble families in Denmark during their lives. Both families owned farms, forests, and land as well as very nice homes in several Danish cities including Copenhagen. Both families controlled many fiefs. Together they built a brick castle at Knudstrup that was completed in Their first child was a daughter, Lizbeth. This was followed by twin boys on December However, one of the twins died before being baptized and named. The other was named Tyge (after Brahe's father). It is for their son Tyge that Brahe is best known as he became a famous astronomer and took on the name Tycho Brahe as a teenager. Strangely, their son Tyge was kidnapped by Brahe's older brother, Jørgen, in Tycho later wrote: "without the knowledge of my parents [Jørgen took] me away with him while I was in my earliest youth. He supported me generously during his lifetime." While Jørgen took Tyge without their permission, it does not appear that Brahe and his wife did much to get him returned. Together, they had twelve children, eight of which survived childhood including daughter Sophia Brahe.

HER LIFE Sophie Brahe shared strong interests in the culture of science and interacted closely, but the gendered pattern of late sixteenth-century elite education forced their scientific pursuits into different molds. Sophie's scientific culture was transmitted to a new generation of learned aristocrats, whereas his moved beyond aristocratic circles to find its place in academic and other institutional contexts.

BROTHER´S HELP Sixteenth century Danish astronomer Sophia Brahe started out as her brother’s assistant. Kepler compiled a catalog of the Brahe’s planetary measurements, which was considered to be the most accurate set of uniform data on the positions of the planets relative to the reference background of stars as a function of time. As Tycho surrounded himself with knowledgeable scientists, Sophia benefited, learning all she could and contributing knowledge that had a lasting impact on modern astronomy.

She made her own career as an horticulturalist, healer,historian and astronomer. We think she helped a lot in science because she invented important things such as the zodiac circle.
