The Astronomer's Sister: Sophie Brahe

By Michael Webster

In the shadow of a giant, one of the most brilliant minds of the Renaissance was nearly forgotten.

While her brother, the famed astronomer Tycho Brahe, was charting the cosmos, Sophie Brahe was his indispensable partner, a meticulous scientist whose work formed the bedrock of his most celebrated discoveries. But her genius transcended the stars. She was a master of alchemy, a respected horticulturist, and a gifted genealogist whose scholarly pursuits defied every expectation placed on a woman of her time.

The Astronomer's Sister: Sophie Brahe is the first comprehensive account of this remarkable woman, a journey into a world of intellectual defiance, profound love, and tragic sacrifice. From the grandeur of Uraniborg to a life of exile and poverty, her story challenges us to re-examine the history of science and to finally give a forgotten star her rightful place in the firmament.Approx.146 pages, 26500 word count
