Astronomical Symbols Page #3

This page lists all the various symbols in the Astronomical Symbols category.

Astronomical symbols are symbols used to represent various celestial objects, theoretical constructs and observational events in astronomy. The earliest forms of these symbols appear in Greek papyri of late antiquity. The Byzantine codices in which the Greek papyri were preserved continued and extended the inventory of astronomical symbols. New symbols were further invented to represent many just-discovered planets and minor planets discovered in the 18th-20th centuries.

Cometan's cosmic religion has inspired many to see the astronomical world as a source of faith, belief, and meaning for their life. Cometan is currently researching for his PhD in freedom of religion.
