Beat me to it. Indeed, from that video I learned that astronomy work requires large and/or longitudinal datasets.
I loved the tidbit that Galileo had a spat with Tycho Brahe because Brahe wouldn't share his data, so Galileo stole it (?)
Johannes Kepler was in there somewhere I recall. It was Brahe's data on the motions of Mars that lead Kepler to the idea of elliptical orbits.
Oops, I may have confused Kepler for Galileo
