Morphology
cosmographist = cosmograph (semi-transparent) = cosmo + graph + ist
The word is formed regularly from the technical base 'cosmograph' plus '-ist', but the specialized vocabulary makes the meaning less immediately accessible to ordinary learners.
Etymology
Cosmographist comes from cosmos meaning 'world' or 'universe' and graph meaning 'to write' or 'to draw', with -ist for a person, and you can see graph in geography, which is about maps of Earth. So a cosmographist is someone who makes maps or descriptions of the universe and studies its main features.
