En Hedu'Anna, a Sumerian priestess and poet from around 2285-2250 BCE, is often credited as one of the earliest known astronomers due to her writings that reference celestial bodies and their movements. While she may not be the first astronomer in history, her contributions to early astronomical thought and her role in recording observations are significant. Her works suggest a systematic approach to astronomy in ancient Mesopotamia, influencing later astronomical practices.

The first person to notice and report on stellar parallax was the Italian astronomer, Giuseppe Calandrelli (1749-1827). He reported the parallax for alpha-Lyrae. The first reliable measurement was made, for 61 Cygni, by the German astronomer Friedrich Bessel in 1838.
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe the surface features of the moon. Using a telescope, he observed mountains, valleys, and craters on the moon's surface, challenging the prevailing belief that celestial bodies were perfect and unblemished. His observations supported the idea that the moon and other celestial bodies were physical bodies similar to Earth.
