About Simon Marius
- Simon Marius (Latinized from German Simon Mayr; January 20, 1573 – January 5, 1625) was a German astronomer.
- He was born in Gunzenhausen, near Nuremberg, but he spent most of his life in the city of Ansbach.
- He is most noted for making the first observations of the four largest moons of Jupiter, before Galileo himself, and his publication of his discovery led to charges of plagiarism.
