Famous Astronomers and Astrophysicists Alphabetical Classical Period Nicolaus Copernicus Polish developed a simple heliocentric model of the solar system that explained planetary retrograde motion and overturned Greek astronomy Tycho Brahe Danish observed a supernova now known as ``Tycho's supernova''; made the most precise observations of stellar and planetary positions then known Galileo Galilei Italian performed fundamental observations, experiments, and mathematical analyses in astronomy and physics; discovered mountains and craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, and the four largest satellites of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede Johannes Kepler German established the most exact astronomical tables then known; established the three laws of planetary motion John Babtist Riccioli Italian made telescopic lunar studies and published detailed lunar maps in which he introduced much nomenclature for lunar objects; discovered the first double star (Mizar) Giovanni Cassini Italian-born French measured rotational periods of Jupiter and Mars; discovered four satellites of Saturn and the gap in Saturn's rings now known as ``Cassini's division'' Christiaan Huygens Dutch discovered Saturn's first satellite, Titan, and the true shape of Saturn's rings

Astronomer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article does not cite any references or sources (June 2007) Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. 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

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

Most jobs are in basic research, usually requiring a doctoral degree; master’s degree holders qualify for some jobs in applied research and development; bachelor’s degree holders often qualify as research assistants or for other physics-related occupations, such as technicians. Applicants may face competition for basic research positions due to limited funding; however, those with a background in physics or astronomy may have good opportunities in related occupations. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Physicists and astronomers conduct research to understand the nature of the universe and everything in it. These researchers observe, measure, interpret, and develop theories to explain celestial and physical phenomena using mathematics. From the vastness of space to the infinitesimal scale of subatomic particles, they study the fundamental properties of the natural world and apply the knowledge gained to design new technologies.
