Astronomy is an incredibly dynamic domain. A comet can appear out of nowere, or a small planet can be discovered.There are also many things happening at a larger scale, for example the birth of a star, the gravitational collapse of a star, a supernova, etc.
The cath is -like in Computer Science - that you must allways be up to date.
