Astronomers observe the sky from various locations, including ground-based observatories situated in remote areas with minimal light pollution, such as mountaintops or deserts. They also utilize space telescopes, like the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbit above the Earth's atmosphere to avoid atmospheric distortion and pollution. These diverse locations allow astronomers to gather clearer and more detailed data about celestial objects.
Astronomers use coordinate systems like equatorial and ecliptic coordinates to map the heavens. These systems help astronomers locate and study celestial objects by providing a framework for referencing positions in the sky.
At the time, using a telescope to observe the night sky was a new and controversial idea. Many astronomers were skeptical of Galileo's findings and methods, preferring to rely on traditional instruments and observations. Additionally, telescopes were expensive and not widely available, which may have limited their adoption among fellow astronomers.
Astronomers use mathematical calculations based on the position of other known celestial bodies to predict where Neptune should be located in the night sky. They also use specialized equipment like telescopes and software programs to track and observe Neptune's movement across the sky.
Their eyes, ground-based telescopes, space telescopes.
The sky. Astronomers use right ascension and declination as coordinates for locating stars, rather than latitude and longitude.
The telescope helps astronomers the most when studying the sky.
no, they divide the sky into constellations
a stethoscope

I've never heard anybody use the phrase "on the sky" in any context.
There are 88 constellations recognized by astronomers right now.
To modern astronomers, a constellation is a defined region of the celestial sphere that contains a specific group of stars. Constellations are used as a way to organize the night sky and locate objects for observation and study. They are not physical groupings of stars, but rather arbitrary patterns that help astronomers navigate the sky.
Many people consider the first astronomers to be the first humans that ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what was really up there. So cavemen were probably the first astronomers.
Look at the sky, it might snow
they help us "map out" the sky, and almost like sectioning off places so astronomers can say, "the star we are looking at resides in the Draco constellation" and all the other astronomers can have an understanding of the general area they should be looking at
Astrologers look at stars and predict events according to what they see. They are different from astronomers because astronomers have a scientific basis, while astronomers do not.
