Another interesting thing to 'quote' when it comes to this term 'tycho' is the TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly 1), the fictitious magnetic aberration in Arthur C Clarke's Science Fiction '2001: A Space Odyssey'. It is this aberration that causes mankind to discover the existence of an intelligent species that planted the TMA-1 in Moon's Crater (the Tycho itself).

I think it would be worth quoting this here to give one complete circle :)


Can we get a picture of the crater?


[edit] Triva (2001 and Star Trek references)

(Copied from my talk page) "Please clean up the 2001 reference as there are now two distinct references in the article. Please make it into one, perhaps just a revert? Thanks. WilliamKF 23:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)"

Whoops, I had completely overlooked the earlier entries, as they were buried in details. I made an edit yesterday to conform to "trivia" pages on a couple of other pages. I think William's changes are for the better. Thanks again. --David Spalding 18:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
