1. aristarchus

   Aristarchus is commonly referred to an ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician, known as Aristarchus of Samos, who lived from approximately 310 BC - 230 BC. He is best known for his theories proposing that the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the universe (heliocentrism) and that the stars were far away. This is a significant departure from the geocentric models commonly accepted at the time. The term "Aristarchus" can also refer to a prominent crater on the Moon named after this astronomer.

1. Aristarchus

   Aristarchus is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies in the northwest part of the Moon's near side. It is considered the brightest of the large formations on the lunar surface, with an albedo nearly double that of most lunar features. The feature is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, and is dazzling in a large telescope. It is also readily identified when most of the lunar surface is illuminated by earthshine. The crater is located at the southeastern edge of the Aristarchus plateau, an elevated area that contains a number of volcanic features, such as sinuous rilles. This area is also noted for the large number of reported transient lunar phenomena, as well as recent emissions of radon gas as measured by the Lunar Prospector spacecraft. Aristarchus is named after the Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos.
