*Brahe remained a life-long opponent of [[Copernicanism]]; he accurately calculated that the math behind Copernicus' heliocentric universe was inaccurate. In response he created his own model, in which he proposed the Sun orbited the Earth and everything else orbited around the Sun. His immense prestige helped to postpone the conversion of other astronomers to the new theory, as they saw his view as a compromise between a heliocentric and geocentric universe.
