Dictionary of Astronomy
and Cosmology

English - Spanish / Spanish - English
Kenneth Allen Hornak (Lexicographer)

Astronomy and cosmology are, by far, the oldest of all sciences. Since the dawn of the ages, when our ancestors first gazed upward into the star-studded night sky, we have stood spellbound before the awesome spectacle of seemingly innumerable stars, planets, comets and galaxies which fill the vastness of outer space.

The sciences of astronomy and cosmology have accumulated an incredibly vast and complex terminology as scientists seek to understand our universe. This huge reference work will give you the precise equivalents of these terms in both Spanish and English. Space scientists worldwide will want to add this lexicon to their professional library to consult throughout a lifetime. Useful appendices and acronyms glossaries included.

Covers all aspects of each field:
asteroids, comets, astrophysics, solar-terrestrial physics, relativity, astronomical equipment, planetary geology, meteor astronomy, meteorites, cosmochemistry, planetology, cosmogony, astrometry, uranography, archaeoastronomy, exobiology, areology, selenology, and more…
