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? Worldtraveller 14:54, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
