Do we know who first suggested that the sun is just another star? That's always seemed to me to be a rather massive development in our understanding of our place in the universe... ] 00:22, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

I thank whoever did the report on astronomy as a job. It was very informative and helped me to understand what my brother was actually doing - :) |

==Proposed rewrite== |
|
|
|
|
|
With due respect to all who have edited this article previously, I think it could be improved enormously. It containts some very unencyclopaedic writing (e.g. in section 1.1 Introduction), is entirely US-centric, and contains some very broad and sometimes bizarre sweeping statements about what astronomers do. It seems to me actually most of the article could be deleted, and replaced with a much more concise summary of what astronomers do. Would anyone else support a substantial re-write and compression of this article? ] 14:54, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

:Most of the middle section was added December 26 and reads like a school essay about careers rather than an encyclopedia article. I trimmed a fair bit of it, but it could probably still be tightened up. -- ] 23:06, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

Despite the above comment, I came this way to find out what astronomers do all day, and left unenlighted (leaving only this comment). What do they do with their time? Who pays their way? What equipment do the work with? ] 23:06, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

== Hipparchus == |
|
|
|
|
|
Why was Hipparchus removed? He is one of the really famous astronomers, the most famous of the old ones, see the article about him. |

|
== Giovanni DonCara == |
|
|
|
|
|
Giovanni DonCara clearly has discovered a lot of asteroids and comets, but can we really put him on a page with all these world famouses? |
