Errore comune:
Learners sometimes think "astronomical" can only be used about space or stars. In everyday English, it is very often used to describe very high prices, costs, or numbers in general. Another confusion is with the much rarer form "astronomic"; in modern English, "astronomical" is strongly preferred.
