Tycho's biggest contribution to astronomy was his meticulous record keeping of the orbit of Mars. This data enabled Kepler (his successor) to understand that a planet's orbit is not a perfect circle (Oh! How they loved and clung to the perfect circle!) but an ellipse. This understanding supported the Copernican heliocentric solar system model, mostly because accurate predictions of a planets position could be made.
