He might have been Arno Penzias' gardener or insurance agent.
This is right in there with cars and airplanes. ;-) Although Karl Jansky's "merry-go-round" is usually given the credit, earlier geniuses like Nikola Tesla would listen to radio noises and correlate them with the Milky Way. He even claimed to have heard signal from Martians. But, it was Bell Lab's Jansky who was asked to build one, and used a feed horn and a steerable antenna. So, the answer is Karl Jansky, in 1931 that usually gets the credit.
A astronomer would look at stars planets and the moon.
A stellar astronomer would specialise in studying stars.
I believe such an astronomer would have a hard time finding a paid job; he would do it as a hobby, mainly.
A museum or government organization's telescopic (visual or radio) facility would be good. California and Arizona (US) as well as Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have some of these facilities.
if somebody is intrested in the galaxy and astronomy then obliviously they might want to be an astronomer!
You would have attend about 6 years of college before you can become a Astronomer.
An astronomer.
Astronomer.
That honour could be said to go to Karl Jansky (1905-1950). In 1932 he was working for the Bell Telephone labs on a project to identify possible sources of interference on shortwave radio links. While he was doing this he noticed a hiss in his radio receiver that would appear and peak once a day. His first thought was it was the Sun, however it kept sidereal time (that is it peaked 4 mins earlier each day), which suggested an astronomical source. He eventually identified the source as being in the constellation of Saggitarius. We now know that the radio hiss was coming from the centre of our galaxy. Bell were not interested in following up on his discovery so Jansky did not take it any further. But it was taken up by Grote Reber. He built a parabolic dish aerial, the sort most people associate with radio astronomy. Reber went on to create a radio map of the sky, so he was probably the first true radio astronomer.
An astronomer who specializes in studying the sun is called a solar astronomer.
