An astronomer is a scientist who studies celestial bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies.

Even though scientific research is not their main goal, many amateur astronomers make a contribution to astronomy by monitoring variable stars, tracking asteroids and discovering transient objects, such as comets.

Because of its simplicity, star hopping is a very common method for finding objects that are close to naked-eye stars.
