stargazers
They study constellations
Stargazers are people who observe the stars, whether astronomically with telescopes or romantically while lying on a blanket.
The term suggests wonder and contemplation rather than rigorous science: The hilltop attracted stargazers during the meteor shower.
Stargazer is also a family of fish with upward-facing eyes, as if perpetually looking skyward.
