As this site is not a space / astronomical site not everyone will understand all the terms used in this forum. I am considering producing a glossary of astronomical terms and having it as a pinned subject. Do others consider this a good idea? I would be grateful of your input.

I think this would be a fab idea Waspie thumbsup.gif ! I love looking at this board but sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with some of the astrological terms, I like to understand exactly what I am reading. So thumbs up from me. original.gif

Sounds like a really good idea to me too. If the definitions are right there, easily available, it could be very useful addition. A suggestion: The first terms defined might be to clarify the difference between "astrology" and "astronomy"....just a suggestion! wink2.gif

Thanks Lottie. thumbsup.gif

It looks like number one on the list will have to be the difference between astrological and astronomical though. grin2.gif
