: ASTRONOMERS. There. I have always got really good grades in every subject...

Funny you should mention astronomers. That's who Tycho was. Tycho Brahe was a 16th-century Danish-born Swedish astronomer and mathematician who advanced the young science with his new instruments and good math. Johannes Kepler was a contemporary and associate of Brahe's. Tycho was also a rather Falstaffian character. He liked a good time, and having had his nose disfigured in a duel (over how good a mathematician he was), he wore a gold-colored prosthetic nose-plate.

They named the crater after him. And now he has his own web site.

Now, who was the original Leela?
