Sousoší astronoma Tychona Brahe (1546–1601) a matematika a astronoma Johanna Keplera (1571–1630) od akademického sochaře Josef Vajce (1937–2011) bylo slavnostně odhaleno před Gymnáziem Jana Keplera v roce 1984. Architektonická koncepce pomníku je od akademického arch. Vladimíra Pýchy. Budova školy byla totiž postavena na místě Kurzovy vily (letohrádku), kde oba astronomové v Praze bydleli. Rozsáhlý renesanční letohrádek Jakuba Kurze koupil pro Braheho samotný císař za 10.000 říšských tolarů. Dům byl nejvýše položeným domem v tehdejší Praze a patřila k němu i rozsáhlá zahrada. Zkáza postihla dům za vpádu saského vojska do Prahy v roce 1631. Po skončení třicetileté války dům zanikl definitivně. Na zdejších pozemcích byla prováděna výstavba nové, mohutné fortifikace. Na nádvoří gymnázia se nachází pozůstatky Kurzova domu, u vchodu do budovy najdete pamětní desku s textem: "V této škole v nádvoří jsou zbytky památného renaissančního domu. V něm od června 1599 bydlil se svou rodinou dánský hvězdář Tycho Brahe. V něm spolu s německým hvězdářem Janem Keplerem konal vědecká pozorování. V něm dne 24. října 1601 zemřel". The dual sculpture of astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) and mathematician and astronomer Johann Kepler (1571-1630) from the academic sculptor Josef Vajc (1937-2011) was solemnly unveiled before the Jan Kepler Grammar School in 1984. The architectural concept of the monument is from the Academic Architect Vladimír Pýcha. The school object was built on the site of the villa (summerhouse), where both astronomers lived. The extensive Renaissance summer palace of Jakub Kurz was bought for Brahe by the Emperor himself for 10,000 Reichs Tolars. The building was the highest situated house in Prague back then. The defeat hit the house for the invasion of Saxon troops into Prague in 1631. After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the house finally disappeared almost completely. The construction of a new, massive fortification was carried out on the local estates. In the courtyard of the grammar school there are the remains of Kurz's house, at the entrance of the building there is a memorial plaque with the text: "There are remnants of a remarkable Renaissance house in the courtyard, where Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe lived with his family from June 1599. He studied with the German astronomer Jan Kepler, and died here on October 24, 1601."
The sculptural group of astronomer Tychon Brahe (1546–1601) and mathematician and astronomer Johann Kepler (1571–1630) by academic sculptor Josef Vajce (1937–2011) was ceremoniously unveiled in front of the Jan Kepler Grammar School in 1984. Pride. The school building was built on the site of Kurz's villa (summer house), where both astronomers lived in Prague. The large Renaissance summer palace of Jakub Kurz was bought for Brahe by the emperor himself for 10,000 imperial tolars. The house was the highest house in Prague at the time and included a large garden. Destruction affected the house during the Saxon army's invasion of Prague in 1631. After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the house was definitively destroyed. A new, massive fortification was built on the local lands.

From Tycho Brache's datas, Kepler found the " Kepler's laws of planetary motion". I forgot the theory. ?
