To compare and classify stars.
Some astronomers study how matter behaves using particle accelerators.
The sky. Astronomers use right ascension and declination as coordinates for locating stars, rather than latitude and longitude.
For nearby stars, the parallax method is used.
It is because stars and other cosmic objects, radiate energy across the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum.
the astronomers use Absolute magnitude
Astronomers use infrared light to map the dust in between stars.
To compare and classify stars.
Astronomers can use their eyes to study the stars. They can also use various telescopes that either refract, reflect, and detect exotic formations.

Because they cannot visit stars and measure their sizes with a tape measure!
Astronomers use a method called parallax to measure the distance to nearby stars. Astronomers can measure parallax by measuring the position of a nearby star with respect to the distant stars behind it. Then, they measure the same stars again six months later when the Earth is on the opposite side of its orbit.
