December 1573 lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse occurred on December 8, 1573.

It was predicted and then observed by a young Tycho Brahe (assisted by his sister Sophia) at Knutstorp Castle. He said "I cannot but be very surprised that even at this youthful age of 26 years, I was able to get such accurate results."[1]
