| Submission declined on 21 June 2024 by MicrobiologyMarcus (talk). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

An individual with a deep affection or interest in the Moon is known as a selenophile. The Greek words "selene," which means "Moon," and philos which means "lover" or "friend," are the source of the term.
The look, phases, and celestial movements of the Moon frequently captivate selenophiles. They might take pleasure in using telescopes to view the Moon, taking pictures of lunar phenomena, or studying the geology and anthropology of the Moon. Selenophiles go so far as to organize their calendars and events around the phases of the Moon, even going to see a full moon or a lunar eclipse.
More technically, the term "selenohttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/selenophilephile" can also refer to any material that has a propensity to absorb selenium, including various types of plants and chemical compounds. The disciplines of botany and chemistry are where this usage is most prevalent.
All things considered, being a selenophile is having a strong affection and respect for Earth's natural satellite, the Moon. Selenophiles like learning about and taking in the various aspects of the Moon.
