Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
An astronomer studied the science of celestial objects and phenomena called astronomy. They discovered new stars, planets, supernovas, and mapped constellations. It was usually regarded as a lifelong occupation for people who spent their entire lives on only one planet.
The bright skies of Coruscant prevented amateur astronomers from studying space from that planet.
Astronomy was a subject taught at many schools across the galaxy, including the Jedi Temple where Anakin Skywalker learned it. Astronomy was among one of many subjects that DJ-88 taught Ken.
An astronomer on Tamban first "discovered" the Koornacht Cluster, and named it after Aitro Koornacht.
