Over the years, man has looked to the heavens and wondered about what he saw. At first, man's lack of understanding made him afraid. Over time he learned to understand and respect what was going on overhead. Some who wished to learn more about the heavens, started a new science called astronomy.
Today there is a large group of people known as astronomers.
The professional astronomers made understanding the heavens their life's work while another interested group of hobbyists became known as amateur astronomers.
