Back then, astronomy was considered a branch of mathematics. New theories and methods for astronomy were just being developed. The first astronomers rose!]]> 2020-09-01 21:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713329496 146810 https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713336787 WIKIPEDIA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronomical_instruments

For one example, astronomers help with medicine! Believe it or not, the technology developed by astronomers has been modified and used for medical research and use! Astronomers have also contributed to transportation, like aircrafts!]]> 2020-09-01 21:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713337094 146810 https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713338610 Depending on your position and studies, an astronomer can earn $100k-$200k!]]> 2020-09-01 21:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713338610 146810 https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713339897 Galileo Galilei was one of the first italian astronomers. He contributed to the creation of many high-tech telescopes, and discovered countless moons and planets.]]> 2020-09-01 21:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713339897 146810 https://padlet.com/146810/bib36kvwfdm5l54i/wish/713356586 Due to many studies, Pythagoras was able to prove the earth was round. Pythagoras was an astronomer, scientist, and engineer, and was theoretically killed by an angry mob after refusing to run through a field of beans, because it was "against his religion".

Varying on the career, an astronomer works with a lot of math and science, and tries to understand how the universe works by creating theories and methods.

Here are a few
-Astrarium (represents cyclic nature of astronomical objects)

-Equatorial ring (determines the exact moment of the spring and autumn equinoxes)

-Orrery (mechanical model of the Solar System that predicts movement)

They could work in a national ovbservation lab, or government funded lab for federal research! Musuems, Aerospace firms, and Planetariums also hire astronomers!
