The very first astronomers were probably priests who studied the heavens and whose understanding of the heavens was seen as divine, or coming from a supernatural power or deity.

Ptolemy (c. AD 90 – c. AD 168) was known as a Greek astronomer.

John Flamsteed (1646-1719) was an English astronomer who was the first Astronomer Royal.
