MF Tycho Brahe
M/F" Tycho Brahe" is a Danish battery- electric car- ferry, that operates on the HH Ferry route between Helsingør, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden, a distance of just 5 km.
M/F" Tycho Brahe" has been in use since 1991.
The ship is bidirectional, therefore it can change direction without turning around, so no time is lost for this.
The ship is also able to accelerate and decelerate quite quickly to and from her maximum speed of 14 knots.
The ship is named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.
M/F" Tycho Brahe" was built by Langsten Slip& Båtbyggeri in Tomrefjord, Norway.
Currently, the ship is owned by Scandlines A/S and operated by Scandlines GmbH.
Between 1991 and 1997, M/F" Tycho Brahe" was owned by DSB Rederi.
The ferry can carry 1250 passengers, 260 trucks, 240 cars and 9 passenger train coaches at one time.
It was built with three railtracks inside, with a total length of 266 meters.
M/F
" Tycho Brahe" has a sister ship,.
The two ships were originally diesel- powered, but have been converted to full electric propulsion with 4 MWh batteries each, being recharged from land by a robot arm when docked.
Two of the four diesel engines have been removed from each ship, with the other two as a backup system, not for daily operation.

Erasmus Habermehl
Erasmus Habermehl, also Erasmus Habermel( ca. 1538 – 15 November 1606 in Prague) was a major watchmaker and maker of astronomics and geodesy instruments of the 16th century, who last worked as a court instrument maker at the court of Emperor Rudolf II. in Prague.
He probably originated in southern Germany and probably reached Prague via Nuremberg, the centre of watchmaking art at the time.
A brass box signed" Erasmus Habermel Pragae 1576" is considered his earliest known work.
He married a Susanna Solis there in 1593 or 1594.
In the same year he was appointed" Kay: Mt: Astronomischer und Geometrischer Instrumentmacher".
He received commissions from Tycho Brahe and Francesco Padua di Forli, the personal physician( and at the same time alchimist) of the emperor.
In addition to their outstanding technical precision, his instruments were at the same time artistic, objects of the highest order designed in the style of the Renaissance.

Tycho Brahe
Tycho Brahe (born Tyge Ottesen Brahe; 14 December 154624 October 1601) was a Danish nobleman, astronomer, and writer known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations.
He was born in the then Danish peninsula of Scania.
Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist.
He has been described as "the first competent mind in modern astronomy to feel ardently the passion for exact empirical facts.
" Most of his observations were more accurate than the best available observations at the time.
An heir to several of Denmark's principal noble families, Tycho received a comprehensive education.
He took an interest in astronomy and in the creation of more accurate instruments of measurement.
As an astronomer, Tycho worked to combine what he saw as the geometrical benefits of the Copernican system with the philosophical benefits of the Ptolemaic system into his own model of the universe, the Tychonic system.
His system correctly saw the Moon as orbiting Earth, and the planets as orbiting the Sun, but erroneously considered the Sun to be orbiting the Earth.
Furthermore, he was the last of the major naked-eye astronomers, working without telescopes for his observations.
In his "De nova stellaOn the New Star") of 1573, he refuted the Aristotelian belief in an unchanging celestial realm.
His precise measurements indicated that "new stars" (stellae novae, now known as supernovae), in particular that of 1572, lacked the parallax expected in sublunar phenomena and were therefore not tailless comets in the atmosphere as previously believed but were above the atmosphere and beyond the moon.
Using similar measurements, he showed that comets were also not atmospheric phenomena, as previously thought, and must pass through the supposedly immutable celestial spheres.
King Frederick II granted Tycho an estate on the island of Hven and the funding to build Uraniborg, an early research institute, where he built large astronomical instruments and took many careful measurements, and later Stjerneborg, underground, when he discovered that his instruments in Uraniborg were not sufficiently steady.
On the island (where he behaved autocratically toward the residents) he founded manufactories, such as a paper mill, to provide material for printing his results.
After disagreements with the new Danish king, Christian IV, in 1597, Tycho went into exile.
He was invited by the Bohemian king and Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II to Prague, where he became the official imperial astronomer.
He built an observatory at Benátky nad Jizerou.
There, from 1600 until his death in 1601, he was assisted by Johannes Kepler, who later used Tycho's astronomical data to develop his three laws of planetary motion.
Tycho's body has been exhumed twice, in 1901 and 2010, to examine the circumstances of his death and to identify the material from which his artificial nose was made.
The conclusion was that his death was likely caused by a burst bladder, and not by poisoning, as had been suggested, and that the artificial nose was more likely made of brass than silver or gold, as some had believed in his time.
Albert Curtz
Albert Curtz(" Curtius" in Latin; 1600, Munich – December 19, 1671, Munich), was a German astronomer and member of the Society of Jesus.
He expanded on the works of Tycho Brahe and used the pseudonym of" Lucius Barrettus".
