Well, there are really 2 types of astronomy; hobbyists who like to look at stuff in space from their back yards or observing sites and academic astronomers who study space. Recreational astronomy is important because it is fun and many asteroids and comets have been discovered that way. Academic astronomy has produced many great discoveries in physics which have helped improve technology, as well as it's often nice to explore beyond out planet for new things and get away from all our futile earthly problems.
