It is related of the celebrated astronomer, Tycho Brahe, that
one night, on leaving his observatory, he suddenly found himself
surrounded by a tumultuous crowd which filled the public square.
Upon inquiring the cause of so great a concourse, they pointed
out to him, in the constellation of Cygnus, a brilliant star,
which he, aided by the best telescopes, had never perceived.
