Answers to Questions
How to recognize astronomical symbols?
Each item of the solar system has been assigned, over astronomical discoveries, a name and a symbol, such as the sun, the moon, the 8 planets of the solar system, but also the dwarf planets.
Apart from the sun and the moon, the symbols are rather unrepresentative and sometimes there are several symbols (depending on the source) for the same star.
Example: Here are the most common symbols:
