Most of his observations were more accurate than the best available at the time. As heir to some of Denmark's top aristocratic families, Tycho is well-educated. His interest in astronomy and the creation of more precise measuring instruments began. As an astronomer, Tycho worked to combine what he saw as the geometrical advantage of the Copernic system with the philosophical advantages of the Ptolemaic system in his own cosmic model, the Tychonic system.
