The words come from the same roots and refer to the same basic concepts, but the words are not identical in meaning or useage. They are both nouns. Astronomy is a field of study, and an astronomer is a person who specializes in it. Similar combinations would be Biology and biologist, history and historian, music and musician, singing and singer. There are countless other examples.
