The dictionary of terms was started by the 2012 REU, PIA, and Práctica students at CTIO, in an effort to list the common technical terms used in astonomy that may not be found in a general English/Spanish dictionary. New words will be added by each year's summer students. If you would like to contribute some translations of commonly used words, or if you would like to suggest a better translation, please send and email to ctioreu AT ctio.noao.edu [1]. Entries with ??? next to them need confirmation.
