Tycho Brahe's Nose

Recommended Posts

This is a bit oddball but I came across this article and thought it interesting if not perhaps strongly astronomical:

For a more conventional biography of this very important astronomical figure, this webpage does a good job:

This portrait of him seems to show that he decided that a splendid moustache and an "interesting" haircut might distract from his nasal repair :smiley:
