Astronomer

An astronomer is a scientist who studies celestial objects such as stars, planets, moons, comets, and galaxies, as well as phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere. They observe the universe using telescopes and other instruments to understand its origins, evolution, and complex processes. Their work helps answer fundamental questions about the nature of the cosmos and our place within it. Astronomers may conduct research, analyze data, and develop theories, often collaborating with international teams. Their discoveries deepen our knowledge of the universe, inspire technological advances, and can even inform our understanding of Earth's environment and future.
