Greetings, Wizard Writers!
There are so many places to go with Astronomy terms in writing. The most obvious that comes to mind is metaphors, but I'm sure we can find other uses for the following list in our writing as well. The list might also be useful for writing about the night sky and weather, or perhaps providing details to a character who happens to be interested in space. This list of Astronomy terms was compiled in my writing journal over the last few years, and I hope you can find uses for the terms in your own writing projects.
Use these Astronomy terms in writing projects and poetry, for character detail, to aid in setting development, and for writing inspiration.
