Tycho Brahe (Martian crater) the karge Kepler, nearly northeast is Electris Mons. Tycho Brahe (Martian crater) Tycho Brahe is a nearly ovular crater on Mars named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546–1601). It is located in the Cerberus hemisphere around 49.8° south and 213.9° west, in an area which is south of the Martz crater and east of the Hellas Basin. It measures approximately 105 kilometers in diameter from east to west. The name was adopted by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973. The crater is crossed by Eridania Scopulus, an escarpment. Other nearby named craters are Huggins to the
Virtual Planetary Laboratory explore the distribution of habitable worlds in the universe. The VPL team studies the effects of galactic, stellar, and planetary environments on planetary habitability. Task D incorporates VPL researchers from diverse and interdisciplinary fields who use laboratory work combined with chemical and climate models to study the impact of life on its environment. In addition, the interactions between the biosphere, planet, and host star are explored to determine how they can influence detectable biosignatures. In the final task, the VPL scientists observe our Solar System and extrasolar planets. The goal of this task is to develop astronomical and remote-sensing retrieval
