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 - :) |

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) |
