How astronomers study at the solar system?

Astronomers must learn physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science...and how to use a telescope, astronomers must rely on their observation skills, for instance physics has helped astronomers to understand what makes spiral galaxies have spiral shapes, another is Spectroscopy which is the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of, When something is moving away from you, it stretches that waveform, while if it moves towards you it compresses the signal wavelength it emits. Spectroscopy also tells you a star's temperature, mass and surface gravity.

Did astronomers find a new planet?

Why was Ceres first a planet?

Ceres was the first asteroid belt object to be discovered, and astronomers of the time had long speculated that a planet might exist between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. Later, the discovery of other asteroid belt objects cast doubt on Ceres' status as a planet.


How are redshifts created?

A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.


What is the direct object in the sentence All astronomers observed the heavens constantly?

"The heavens". A tip to remember what the object of a sentence is, what ever comes after the verb. English sticks to a rule usually where it is SVO (subject + verb + object). It can also be called the accusative case. "Astronomers" would be the subject, "observed" would be the verb in the past perfective tense, and "heavens" would be the object. "Constantly" is an adverb.
