There are a lot of astronomers in that case who has contributed a lot in astronomy and astrophysics. Naming a few whose contributions are very very important and fascinating ,the astronomers are as follows-
Galileo Galilei-one of the revolutionary inventors of his time he was the one who thought of using the telescope for astronomical purposes.which not only supported the heliocentric model but also gave us the glimpses of our own solar system.
Sir Isaac newton-Even though a great scientist was not able to contribute so much to astronomy ,gave us the universal law of gravity and the basics idea of the reflector telescope(now known as newtonian reflector).
Johannes Kepler-one of the great contributors with the help of the data collected by his mentor Tycho Brahe gave the structure of solar system with just observations aided by eyes.
There are a lot of people who has contributed in the field of astronomy ,but due to insufficient space I'm not able to mention.

Same thing he is doing now, finding talent and producing records.
Chaldean astronomers developed early forms of astronomy and mathematical concepts, including the division of the zodiac into twelve signs and the creation of a lunar calendar. They made significant contributions to understanding celestial phenomena, such as eclipses and planetary movements. Their observations laid the groundwork for later astronomical advancements in ancient Greece and beyond. Additionally, they are credited with the development of a base-60 number system, which influenced timekeeping and geometry.
