Aberration of Starlight
Aberration of Starlight refers to the obvious displacement of a star's position as a consequence of Earth's motion through space and the finite speed of light.
Ablation
Ablation refers to the process of vaporization of the surface layers of a body when it enters the atmosphere. Ablation is caused by the heating that results from the compression of air ahead of it.
Absolute Magnitude
Absolute Magnitude represents the evident magnitude which an object has if it was placed at a distance of 10 parsecs from the observer.
Achromatic
Achromatic literally means no colours. Achromatic also refers to the combination in which chromatic aberration is corrected by bringing two colours to the same focus.
Accretion
Accretion refers to the accumulation of dust and gas into much bigger celestial bodies such as stars, planets and moons, or as discs around existing bodies.
Airy Disc
Airy Disc represents the bright central part of the image of a star.
Altazimuth Mount
Altazimuth Mount refers to a mounting in which the axes of rotation are vertical and horizontal, i.e. in altitude and azimuth.
Altitude
Altitude is the elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface
Albedo
Albedo is the ratio of reflected to incident light.
