Morphology
nonastronomical = astronomical (transparent) = non + astronom + ical
The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the meaning of 'astronomical', indicating something not extremely large.
Etymology
The word nonastronomical starts with non- meaning 'not' and the rest is astronomical, a word people use to mean 'very large' because of ideas about 'space' and 'stars' like in astronomy. So nonastronomical means not extremely large but moderate or reasonable.
