As an astronomer we study the universe and the planets and stars inside of them.
For me, the most interesting part of Astronomy is discovering and seeing things that no one on the planet has seen or known before.
Astronomy affects our lives because without it we would not be able to have a calendar and it helps us extend the lifetime of our species.
Some of the most important woman astronomers are Annie Cannon and Caroline Herschel. Annie found out how to measure great distances in space while Caroline discovered 8 comets in space.
