Tycho Brahe, who is said to have first viewed the comet slightly before sunset after having returned from a day of fishing, was the most distinguished observer and documenter of the comet's passing. Sketches found in one of Brahe's notebooks seem to indicate that the comet may have travelled close to Venus.
