... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

Origin of the Small Solar System Bodies . ... During the last decades of the twentieth century joint efforts of scientist from different countries made it possible to develop a standard scenario of the origin of the Sun, planets and other bodies of the Solar System that satisfied basic observational data accumulated by astrophysics and comparative planetology. Following are brief description of this scenario and the problem of the origin of the small Solar System bodies. ...
