Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe made the most accurate celestial observations of his time.

He plotted the positions of nearly 800 stars, decades before the invention of the telescope.

Lesser known, however, is his work as an alchemist who brewed secret medicines.

Glass and pottery shards from Uraniborg have uncovered new clues about Brahe ’s alchemical activities.

Tungsten was first identified in the 18th century by Carl Wilhelm Scheele and later isolated by the d’Elhuyar brothers.

How tungsten appeared in Tycho Brahe’s lab remains a mystery.

Future analyses of additional samples may uncover more about the enigmatic scientist.
