Making Tycho Brahe's Sky Accessible to Future Astronomers
Abstract
Can we make a copy of Tycho's "De Nova Stella" that can in fact survive a nova? At first, this may seem at best a nerdish, if not distinctly foolish question. However, it is also both a technological and a philosophical question: in fact, answering questions like this is linked to both technical, physical and sociological problems related to the long-term preservation and curation of objects from current and past civilizations.
