See Kazimieras Černis and Asteroid

Astronomer

An astronomer is a scientist in the field of astronomy who focuses their studies on a specific question or field outside the scope of Earth.

See Kazimieras Černis and Astronomer

Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a science that employs the methods and principles of physics and chemistry in the study of astronomical objects and phenomena.

See Kazimieras Černis and Astrophysics

Comet

A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that warms and begins to release gases when passing close to the Sun, a process called outgassing.

See Kazimieras Černis and Comet

Extinction (astronomy)

In astronomy, extinction is the absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by dust and gas between an emitting astronomical object and the observer.

See Kazimieras Černis and Extinction (astronomy)

Galactic anticenter

The galactic anticenter is a direction in space directly opposite to the Galactic Center, as viewed from Earth.
