The astronomer who lost part of his nose in a duel was Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer known for his accurate astronomical observations. He lost part of his nose in a duel with another nobleman over a mathematical formula.
Tycho Brahe was not able to follow the habit of mind "begin with the end in mind" to lose his nose. He died without finding a cure for his urinary disease, which led to him holding his bladder for too long, causing his bladder to rupture and eventually leading to his death.
Tycho Brahe was Danish.
That was Tycho Brahe who lived on an island near Copenhagen and employed the great Johannes Kepler as his mathematician.
Kepler was Brahe's assistant. He continued to analyze Brahe's data after Brahe's died. Kepler determine that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical, or ovalshaped, orbits. He also developed three laws that describe planetary motion. These laws are still used today. Hope I explained this clearly(:

Caroline Herschel discovered the star in Cassiopeia on October 6, 1783.
Kepler used Tycho Brahe's data by developing his Laws of planetary motion and by analyzing his observations about planet's orbit.! :D
Gold Nose.

Tycho Brahe
Tycho Brahe was famous for wearing a prosthetic nose made of brass after losing his original nose in a duel.
Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer from the 16th century, famously had a metal prosthetic nose after losing part of his own in a duel. He made significant contributions to astronomy, including accurately measuring the positions of stars and planets.
Tycho Brahe had a prosthetic nose due to losing his original nose in a sword duel. This injury did not directly affect his vision, but he may have experienced vision problems later in life.
Tycho Brahe made measurements of the planets' positions over time with greater accuracy than ever before. The results were used by Johannes Kepler to create the three laws of planetary motion in which the elliptical orbit makes its first appearance in the historyof scoentific thought. Later, Isaac Newton's discoveries in gravity and dynamics explained why elliptical orbits are so important and universal.
