looks at the sky through a telescope their curious enough to know the ''wonders'' of the universe!
But because were just doing that were developing excellent technologies to other planets to discover
the ''wonders'' of the universe. Robots like AI rover or ''curiosity'' are developed currently and sent to planets
in our universe in order to find the unanswered questions of the universe. Things scientists still don't know the
answer too. On the other hand astronomers won't get replaced by robot's, and that's because we humans need
to discover the universe and learn things that mankind always wanted to know when there wasn't a possibility of
enough technology to help us know and even human curiosity is so hard to kill.
In this field of knowledge I think we only need the technology to help us determine something we don't know and even great advances to just make this field ''astronomy'' better than it was in the past. But as humans we're very curious for learning and discovering ''we're curious beings'' which means you can't just let us down.
