The study of the astrion point and related anatomical landmarks on the skull, particularly in forensic and anthropological contexts.
Derived from astrion with the scientific suffix -ics, indicating a field of study or technical discipline. This appears to be specialized anatomical terminology from forensic science.
Astrionics might sound like star science, but it's actually forensic skull anatomy—anthropologists literally measure the position of the astrion point to reconstruct faces and identify remains.
