Fun Popular Science Quiz: what is the 'popular name' of this astronomical 'thing' that astronomers themselves use?

Users well steeped in astronomy/science, give others a chance. This is one some people might be able to guess even if they never learned the name of it before.

@uncleshawn well, in our defence , you said name one thing astronomers 'USE'...not 'observe', so I was thinking of a piece of equipment, not astrological phenomena.

@OogieBoogie Yah, the question was worded wonky....technically incorrect grammar. But I figured people are so used to incorrect grammar, especially heavy Internet users, that it woudn't matter. For your good point, you win a pecan pie.
@uncleshawn one pecan pie for a cheese burger 🤔...I'd say that's a good deal 😁👍
