Astronomer

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

An astronomer is a person who studies the stars and planets. Most astronomers do some of their work in observatories with telescopes and actually collect information from the stars, planets, or galaxies they are interested in finding out about. They take the data they have collected back to a university or college where most of their work is done. The big job for an astronomer is to analyse the information he or she has collected, and to use it to help us understand how the universe behaves.
