Csillagászati

Csillagászati is a Hungarian adjective meaning “astronomical” or “relating to astronomy.” It is used to describe objects, phenomena, or theories connected with celestial bodies and the science of astronomy. The word originates from csillagász, meaning astronomer, which in turn derives from csillag (star) and the agentive suffix -ász. The noun csillagászat (astronomy) shares the same root, reflecting the close relationship between the terms.

In usage, csillagászati modifies a following noun, for example: csillagászati megfigyelés (astronomical observation), csillagászati esemény (astronomical event), and csillagászati adatok (astronomical data). It can also describe broader concepts such as csillagászati felmérés or csillagászati vizsgálat, depending on context. The term is common in scientific writing, educational materials, journalism, and everyday language when referring to astronomy-related topics.

Csillagászati operates similarly to its English counterpart, serving as a general descriptor for celestial or space-related matters. It can be combined with a wide range of nouns to specify the aspect of astronomy being discussed, from observations and measurements to theories and instruments.
