Galileo is often referred to as the Father of Modern Astronomy. Historically, astronomy was more concerned with the classification and description of phenomena in the sky, while astrophysics attempted to explain these phenomena and the differences between them using physical laws. Today, that distinction has mostly disappeared. Professional astronomers are highly educated individuals who typically have a PhD in physics or astronomy and are employed by research institutions or universities. They spend the majority of their time working on research, although they quite often have other duties such as teaching, building instruments, or aiding in the operation of an observatory. The letter of professional astronomers in the United States is actually quite small. The American Astronomical Society , which is the major organization of professional astronomers in North America, has approximately 6500 members. This number includes scientists from other fields, such as physics, geology, and engineering, whose research interests are closely related to astronomy. The

This page answers questions about astronomers and about astronomy in general. The questions are: An astronomer does astronomy and an astrologer does astrology . Astronomy is a science that studies things beyond the Earth (such as planets and stars and galaxies ): What are they and how do they work and where do they come from and where do they go? Astronomy investigates these things in the scientific manner, with mathematics and physics and chemistry and technology. Astrology is based on the very old idea that things that happen on Earth are associated with things that happen in the sky. If that is true, and if you can predict what is going to happen in the sky, then you should be able to predict what will happen on Earth. A long
