Where do astronomers work?
A. Most astronomers work in universities, or in government departments like the National Research Council. They do their work at observatories with telescopes, such as the Canada-France- Hawaii telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. These observatories are owned by governments, or universities. They also use computers to help understand their measurements of the universe, or to develop theories about how planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe “work”.
