Understanding Astonomical Terms

Unread post by rakeen » Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:49 pm

I read an old bangla book on astronomy and also read wikipedia. And couldn't connect what could be the bangla meaning of Galaxy. প্রথমে আমি ভাব্লাম এতা ছায়াপথ হতে পারে। কিন্তু অন্নজায়গায় পেলামঃ ছায়া-পথ নাকি Galaxy এর এক্তা অংশ! Another thing I found that Consteller(taroka-punjo) is a part of the galaxy which contains many concentrated stars. I also found that there are 88 consteller. How can that be? Because the space is infinitive.So the number of conteller should be also infinitive.

গ্যালাক্সি এবং নেবুলা দুইটাকেই বাংলায় নীহারিকা বলে। ছায়পথ হইল মিল্কিওয়ে।

Actually translating these terms are unnecessary but our bangla translation is confusing.
At some books "ছায়াপথ"refers to galaxy.Milky way refers to "আকাশ ganga"
