amateur astronomers

Amateur astronomers are individuals who engage in the observation and study of celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies, typically as a hobby rather than a profession. They use telescopes, binoculars, and even their naked eyes to explore the night sky. Many amateurs contribute to scientific research by documenting their findings and participating in projects that track astronomical events. This community fosters a passion for astronomy through clubs, online forums, and public outreach, making the wonders of the universe accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise.
