 Kepler biography
Probably Maestlin was trying to tell him he could do better, because Kepler was in fact one of the select pupils to whom he chose to teach more advanced astronomy by introducing them to the new, heliocentric cosmological system of Copernicus.
It was from Maestlin that Kepler learned that the preface to On the revolutions, explaining that this was 'only mathematics', was not by Copernicus.
However, Maestlin promptly told him first that it was unseemly for a serious mathematician to rejoice over a mere aid to calculation and second that it was unwise to trust logarithms because no-one understood how they worked.

A lunar crater is named for him; a peak in its center is the brightest formation on the Moon.
Kepler was born on December 27, 1571, in Weil der Stadt in Württemberg and studied theology and classics at the University of Tübingen.
There he was influenced by a mathematics professor, Michael Maestlin, an adherent of the heliocentric theory of planetary motion first developed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.

 Crater diameter sequence for central north Oceanus Procellarum for small aperture amateur telescopes
This crater sequence chart is intended as a resouce for amateur astronomers to explore crater sizes that are visible at various magnifications and apertures.
The crater sequence chart extends from the lunar equator or north 24 selenographic latitude and to west 65 selenographic longitude.
Craters in the Gazetter with different designations in Rükl's Atlas were excluded from the chart to maintain consistency between sources commonly used by amateurs.

 Kepler, Johannes
Kepler wrote to Maestlin, his old astromony professor, expressing his intention to publish this model for the glorification of God.
He felt he had found his holy calling in a new venue and wept tears of joy over what he referred to as "stupendous miracles of God." Below are two excerpts from his publication Mysterium Cosmographicum, in which he explained the relations between the planets and the platonic solids.
"Kepler," a crater on the Moon, and "Kepler," a crater on Mars.

The entire area between Marian and the crater Sharp was in shadow, looking like a void in the surface of an otherwise bright terminator.
She thought the crescent shape was similar to that of a rainbow's arch, and thus, the name of the bay.
There were numerous small craters near Louise, not shown on Rukl, and then I though maybe I saw the Rima.

Kepler did not discover the deeper reasons for the laws, despite many years of what would now be considered non-scientific mystical speculation.
Michael Maestlin eventually showed that the laws were a consequence of his America and edit.
In 1975, nine years after its founding, the College for Social and Economic Sciences Linz (Austria) was renamed Platonic in honor of Johannes Kepler, since he wrote his Harmonice Mundi in Linz.

 Willebrord Snell Summary
Willebrord Snell (1580–October 30, 1626), also known as Snellius or Snel van Royen, was a Dutch astronomer and mathematician, most famous for the law of refraction now known as Snell's law.
He discovered the law of refraction that is named after him in 1621.
The lunar crater Snellius is also named after him.

Long shadows in Maestlin, 6/12/2000 at 9:30pm PDT, though they were rapidly shortening even then.
Here's another sketch I made of the same area, 7:45pm PDT 10/2/2000, showing the curiously smooth domelike hill near the crater Gardner (the small crater at the foot of the hill).
The Times Atlas goes as far as the crater "B", and there might be a ridge extending from that crater in the right direction, but so little of it is visible that it's difficult to tell; the atlas doesn't have a page for the area around Riccioli, unfortunately.

He noted that a large circular crater seemed to resemble the basin of Bohemia on Earth.
Not all Galileo’s instruments were as good as that one, some were useless, but the good ones, when directed to the night sky, were making startling new discoveries.
As it rotated, the side facing the Sun erupted as the icy mantle steamed off and was blown away from the Sun by the solar wind.

The controversial LOIII 162H2 shows a.023km crater within the ray system of Kepler, SW of Maestlin R. I also saw this frame in the Kopal atlas after I’d examined a Houston negative of the frame and it is pictured in NASA’s, The Moon As Viewed By Lunar Orbiter.
The negative I got from Houston and Kopal’s version are DIFFERENT and have the framelet line nearest the crater crossing in different areas.
Here there are streaks and patches radial to Copernican craters consisting of layers of fragmented rock created from both primary and secondary craters, perhaps dark bedrock.

The Moon's surface is covered in many interesting geologic features.
In addition to mountains, valleys, and craters, the following surface features have received names in the Lunar nomenclature.
Many of these features are named after a nearby crater or mountain.

The soil sample from which we extracted our spherules was from the ejecta of a recent impact; our spherule age measurements support models of lunar soil mechanics and impact cratering in which ejecta are stratified and inverted relative to the stratigraphy that was present before the impact.
The data show that over the last ~3.5 billion years, the cratering rate decreased by a factor of 2 to 3 to a low about 500 to 600 million years ago, then increased by a factor of 3.7 +/- 1.2 in the last 400 million years.
Before the Apollo missions relative ages of different surfaces could be calculated by comparing the number of craters of a given size on the different surfaces.

 Comments and explanations
Hausen is known for work on electricity and has a crater on the moon named after him.
The mathematics genealogy project (and countless other web sites as a consequence) has confused him with his father, also named Christian August Hausen, who got a doctorate in theology under Christian Siber in 1683.
Maestlin studied mathematics and astronomy in Tuebingen under Apian; he completed these studies in 1571.

Michael Maestlin, the tutor of Johannes Kepler, actually owned a copy of Almagest, and Kepler was brought up with Ptolemy’s world view.
Most comets are believed to come from the Oort cloud, a swarm of small, rocky and icy bodies at the outermost fringes of the solar system — just barely within grasp of the Sun’s gravity.
Yeomans explained that nearly every aspect of the blast will yield valuable information: not only the size and shape of the blast, but how fast it develops and how much and at what angle the spewed material, or ejecta, is flung outwards.

Measure the composition of the interior of the crater and its ejecta
BTW, Lutheran pastor and university astronomer, Michael Maestlin (1550-1631), a supporter of Copernicanism and professor to Johann Kepler, showed in 1577 that comets were supralunar, contrary to the then accepted view, though Maestlin still believed, or at least wrote, that comets had astrological significance.
Georg Samuel Doerffel (1643-1688), another Lutheran astronomer, pastor, and later Lutheran Superintendent at Weida, presented proofs in 1681 that comets are heavenly bodies moving in parabolic orbits around the sun.
