Grrr. They were scientists, not "researchers". They may have been scientists engaged in astronomical research, but that makes them actual scientists.

- Retric 3y agoNot all scientists are researchers and not all researchers are scientists, these people where both. So there's nothing wrong with calling them researchers.
- cinntaile 3y agoWhat is the difference researchers and scientists?
- Retric 3y agoResearchers conduct research, but that can include things outside of the natural sciences like recent history. What are period appropriate clothes for people working on a whaling ship? Scientist: “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.” Plenty of scientists have pure educational, administrative, or advisory roles. Handing out grant money for example needs an expert aware of the current research.
