Uraniborg, Tycho Brache Observatory on Hven Island, Denmark

Recused!
Name sounds like something they might’ve used on Star Trek TNG – Perhaps one of Locutus’ associates on the Cube ship?…
Wait a minute now! – The Borg assimilated mechanical parts with biological ones – and Tycho Brahe was famous for his knowledge of astronomy and planetary observations AND his METALLIC NOSE!…

Uraniborg — Tycho Brahe’s home on the island of Hven. The little star shaped area to the south and slightly west of the garden is Stjerneborg, Brahe’s underground observatory.
This was a GOOD one!
