Astronomische

astronomische is a German adjective meaning "relating to astronomy." It is the attributive form of the root astronomisch and is used to describe nouns connected with the science of astronomy, including celestial objects, measurements, and methods. The word derives from Greek astron "star" and nomos "law," via Latin astronomicus, and entered German with the growth of astronomical science.

Usage examples include astronomische Beobachtungen (astronomical observations), astronomische Einheiten (astronomical units), astronomische Objekte (astronomical objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies), and astronomische Daten (astronomical data). Because it is an attributive adjective, its ending changes with gender, number, and case. For example, feminine singular with an indefinite article: eine astronomische Einheit; plural with a definite article: die astronomischen Objekte.

astronomische is commonly used in scientific texts, textbooks, and publications to describe anything associated with astronomy, from celestial phenomena to research methods. The base noun for the field is Astronomie, and related terms include Astrophysik and Astrometrie.
