Florence Nightingale proves that being overrated isn't a barrier to entry.

I'd never heard of him. Not that odd, since he was wrong after Copernicus was right. And all I know about astronomy is what I was told in school. Great story about his nose though.

Wrong in some things, but his measurements were the best ever, & there were a lot of 'em. That was immensely valuable. Theories need numbers to test against.

Tycho Brahe. I knew about the nose, but what's with the antlers? Is it just because he had a pet moose, or is there something else (other than the moose's stupid death)?

OT but the thread title reminds me of many christmasses ago I got up to make a round of drinks, picked up the bottle of gin and up-ended it before I poured it out. Pingu and my oldest brother both pointed, larfed and said 'spot the chemist'! (we have 3 in the family)
