How can I select 'No prefix' in the Astronomy & Astrophysics forum?
(It won't let me!)

There is, even at the edit, but it gives an error. For other forums it works. Weird, ha?Drakkith said:When creating a new thread there should be a "No Prefix" option at the very bottom of the dropdown menu.
(at least there is for me)

Thanks a lot Drakkith!Drakkith said:Yep. I just removed the prefix from your thread in the astronomy forum.
The prefix "astro-" refers to objects and phenomena related to space and the universe, such as stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic events. On the other hand, the prefix "aero-" is used to describe objects and phenomena related to the Earth's atmosphere, such as clouds, weather, and air pollution. Therefore, "astro-" and "aero-" have different meanings and are used in different contexts in astronomy and astrophysics.
No, the prefix "cosmo-" has a different meaning and is not interchangeable with "astro-" or "aero-" in astronomy and astrophysics. "Cosmo-" refers to the entire universe as a whole, including all matter, energy, and space-time. It is often used in terms like "cosmology" and "cosmogony" to study the origin and evolution of the universe.
In the field of astrobiology, the prefix "astro-" refers to the study of life in the universe beyond Earth. It combines the words "astronomy" and "biology" to explore the possibility of life on other planets, moons, and celestial bodies, as well as the origins and conditions necessary for life to exist in the cosmos.
Yes, the prefix "stellar-" is often used to describe objects and phenomena related to stars, such as "stellar evolution" and "stellar atmosphere." It is derived from the Latin word "stella," meaning star, and is commonly used in astronomy and astrophysics to indicate a focus on stars.
The prefix "cosmo-" in "cosmonaut" refers to the idea of traveling and exploring the cosmos, or the universe. A cosmonaut is a person who is trained to travel and work in space, typically as a member of a Russian or Soviet space mission. The word is derived from the Greek word "kosmos," meaning order or world, and the suffix "-naut," meaning sailor or traveler.
