The Telescope and the Science
From ancient times, humans have watched for changes in the sky. Modern astronomers may not be looking for omens, but they still monitor things that move or change in brightness, including asteroids and comets that might pose a threat to Earth at some point in the far future. Less urgently, but no less important scientifically, tracking changes in the sky can reveal new objects in the outer Solar System, variable stars, or transient events like supernovas.
