Observation, like Tycho Brahe observing the motion of the planets; Experimentation, like Galileo dropping a ball from the tower of Pisa; and interpretation like Einstein's Brownian Motion.
These are the ways evidence is gathered and all three can be wrong. Replication, others getting the same answers from repeating the first scientists work is a safeguard but not sure protection. For example the redshift is mis-interpreted to mean the Universe is expanding. The observation is correct but the interpretation is incorrect because of Group Think.

Scientists read and communicate with each other to gather information.

Alfred wegener a German geologist had an idea that the continental drift had happened. He said that the continents fitted like a puzzle piece. The name of the big he put is Pangea. This is evidence that scientists had from the continental drift.
Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered, and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest, fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time trying to prove it.
Scientists can not gather information IN the Sun.
i know that this is stupid but how do scientists get empirical evidence.
scientists gather weather data from high in the sky using weather satellites
scientific inquirry refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on evidence they gather
