Welcome to the MAA Glossary about astronomical and astrophysical
terms. Just click on an a topic in the index and the info will
be displayed in this window.
Alternatively you can use the more traditional way: :-)
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Though some info can be found here there is a separat glossary for comets and meteors (prepared by Gary Kronk).
If you think additional topics should be included, please send a note to MAA(at)clell.de. The same is, of course, true, if you encounter errors or wrong links.
