What is the job of an astronomer?

Astronomical scientists' main job is to study the natural science of the structure and development of celestial bodies and the universe, including the structure, nature and operation law of celestial bodies. Born between heaven and earth, human beings began to explore the mysteries of the universe from a very young age, so astronomy is the oldest science, which is closely related to human labor and survival from the beginning. It is six basic disciplines with mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and earth science.

Astronomers' main research is of great practical significance to our lives, such as timing, making calendars and determining directions. The development of astronomy has had a great influence on human's view of nature. Heliocentrism of Copernicus once liberated natural science from theology; Kant and Laplace's theory about the origin of the solar system opened the first gap in the metaphysical view of nature in the18th century.

An important subject in astronomy is the origin and evolution of various celestial bodies. The main research method of astronomy is observation, and constantly creating and improving observation means has become a subject that astronomers make unremitting efforts to. Astronomy, like other disciplines, always draws on and permeates many neighboring sciences. Every development of astronomical observation means has brought useful things to applied science.

The work of astronomical scientists follows the development path of observation theory and continuously extends people's horizons to new depths in the universe.
