Astronoomilised

Astronoomilised is the Estonian plural form of the adjective astronoomiline, meaning relating to astronomy. It is used to describe objects, phenomena, measurements, or data associated with space and celestial science. In everyday language it appears in phrases like astronoomilised nähtused (astronomical phenomena), astronoomilised andmed (astronomical data), or astronoomilised ühikud (astronomical units). The adjective agrees with the noun in number and case, so different inflected forms exist, such as astronoomiline (singular), astronoomilise (genitive singular), or astronoomilised (plural nominative).

The word derives from the Greek roots astron (star) and nomos (law/order) via the Estonian term astronoomia, which denotes the science of celestial bodies. The term is distinct from astroloogiline (astrological), which relates to astrology rather than observational science.

Astronoomilised concepts are central in astronomy and related disciplines, including observational astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and space exploration. They cover measurements such as astronomical units, light-years, and magnitudes, as well as objects like planets, stars, galaxies, and comets when described in a scientific context.
