This text addresses the Polish scientifi c terminology of astronomy. Thissubject is relatively rarely discussed in the linguistic literature. The authorshandle the divisions of astronomical terms by specifi c criteria, the process ofcoining the Polish astronomical terminology, and tendencies noticeable in itsformation over time. They also deal with the old astronomical vocabulary, whichhas survived to date and is used as the basisfor modern terms. Furthermore,they analyse awareness of the language and terminology among astronomers inthe past and in the present. Finally, they discuss the current state of the Polishastronomical terminology. In the conclusion, they postulate the creation ofa web portal dedicated to it, which would not only be a useful terminographicalsolution but also improve its situation in the face of the dominance of English.
