MF Tycho Brahe MF Tycho Brahe M/F "Tycho Brahe" is a Danish train and car ferry that operates at 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
Tycho Brahe parallax over any period of six months, during which the angular orientation of a given star would change thanks to Earth's changing position. (This parallax does exist, but is so small it was not detected until 1838, when Friedrich Bessel discovered a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds of the star 61 Cygni.) The Copernican explanation for this lack of parallax was that the stars were such a great distance from Earth that Earth's orbit was almost insignificant by comparison. However, Tycho noted that this explanation introduced another problem: Stars as seen by the naked eye appear small, but of some size,
