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
Stellar kinematics globular clusters orbiting in these halo regions of galaxies provides evidence for dark matter. Both of these cases derive from the key fact that stellar kinematics can be related to the overall potential in which the stars are bound. This means that if accurate stellar kinematics measurements are made for a star or group of stars orbiting in a certain region of a galaxy, the gravitational potential and mass distribution can be inferred given that the gravitational potential in which the star is bound produces its orbit and serves as the impetus for its stellar motion. Examples of using stellar
