Question 2
How did Brahe measure highly accurate planetary positions?
A) By careful measurements of the brightness of the planets, as seen from Earth.
B) With larger and more elegant sighting instruments.
C) By his invention of the technique know as triangulation (measuring the distance between 2 points, and measuring 2 angles, to determine the distance to a 3rd point).
D) With the recently-invented telescope.
E) With a new type of telescope that used mirrors instead of lenses.
