Galilaei is a large impact crater on Mars in the region known as Margaritifer Terra. The crater is in the southern part of the Oxia Palus quadrangle (MC-11) at 5.7°N 333.0°E. Galilaei is located north of Hydaspis Chaos in the area east of Tiu Valles and west of Ares Vallis. The crater was named after the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. Galilaei is one of the numerous large craters that formed during the Noachian Period, which ended around 3.7 billion years ago. The crater floor was modified by superficial geologic processes through Late Hesperian time, as mapped by Tanaka, K.L. and others.
