The 14 pages that link to Observational astronomy, each with the reason it gives.

• AstronomyBroader topic: It obtains the measurements that theories in astronomy must explain.

• EphemerisNarrower topic: Measurements of planets, spacecraft, and stars constrain the models behind ephemerides.

• AstrophysicsCompared with: It emphasizes gathering evidence, while astrophysics emphasizes physical explanations of that evidence.

• Experimental physicsCompared with: Astronomical evidence usually comes from observing naturally occurring events rather than controlling them.

• Spherical astronomyNarrower topic: It is the broader empirical activity that supplies positions for spherical analysis.

• Ulugh BegNarrower topic: His precise, pre-telescopic work became a landmark in this broader practice.

• Indian astronomyRelated: It highlights the observational work alongside the mathematical models preserved in Indian texts.

• Palomar ObservatoryNarrower topic: Palomar’s telescopes produce observations across visible, infrared, and other wavelengths.

• AstronomerBroader topic: It is the branch in which astronomers directly gather evidence from the sky.

• Johann Gottfried GalleNarrower topic: Galle’s role was to verify a mathematical prediction by observing the sky.

• Hills cloudNarrower topic: Directly detecting small, distant Hills-cloud bodies is an observational challenge.

• Computational astrophysicsCompared with: Observations constrain simulations, while simulations test interpretations of those measurements.

• Taqi ad-Din Muhammad ibn Ma'rufRelated: His observatory aimed to produce systematic observations of the heavens.

• White holeRelated: No confirmed astronomical observation currently establishes the existence of a white hole.
