Answer:

One answer is VIRTUES.

Opatha, & Teong, (2014) point out that a virtue is a good habit and a good attribute that is useful for a person him/herself and other persons. Solomon (1999) states that virtue is an essential aspect of an individual. Solomon (1999) further states that the concept of virtues provides the conceptual linkage between an individual and his/her society

Astronomers usually fall under either of two main types: observational and theoretical. Observational astronomers make direct observations of celestial objects and analyze the data. In contrast, theoretical astronomers create and investigate models of things that cannot be observed. Because it takes millions to billions of years for a system of stars or a galaxy to complete a life cycle, astronomers must observe snapshots of different systems at unique points in their evolution to determine how they form, evolve, and die. They use these data to create models or simulations to theorize how different celestial objects work.

Further subcategories under these two main branches of astronomy include planetary astronomy, galactic astronomy, or physical cosmology.
