Just curious, are there any new Aides in future updates that get this skill?

Taipan: To date, no Aides exist with Astronomy as an innate skill. Regarding future updates, there's some new information about JP's "Atlantis - Atlantic Ocean" update (due out this month):

gamecity.ne.jp/dol/developer/new_updata2015_10.htm

It will become possible to -add- the Astronomy skill to aides. But that's a long ways off for GAMA, and there's a marked difference between an aide that comes with Astronomy naturally, and having to -add- the skill using an item to do so.

So, there are Astronomical discoveries "in the wild", and their availability is related to World Clock periods and Adept of Age titles. If I discovered one, then reported it to Galileo in Pisa, could I then find the same "wild" discovery again, like with archive map discoveries? Or would I have to actually lose the discovery card first before I could "find" it again?

Non-astronomer's uneducated guess: these wild discoveries would probably work the same way fishing discoveries that are also wild. What happens with those? For sure you can't rediscover the same fish again if you have the card, and I don't know what happens when you loose the card? I don't think I've ever managed to loose a fishing card, I wonder if it's even possible at all?

Egw's guess lines up with my own findings. Otherwise, all you'd have to do is find an Astronomical discovery in the same sea zone as a town with a discovery reporting NPC in it, and then discover/report/discover/report, over and over, until your Astronomy skill was maxed. As for losing cards, Treasure Hunt synthesis, Lima/Caribbean/SEA City Official donations, and losing in Debate Tournaments are the only way to lose them apart from ornament creation... it ought to be possible for fish and Astronomy cards to be lost, under those conditions. But it still wouldn't be possible to do it more once every blue moon.

Yes, I think you will have to lose the card in order to be able to redo the discovery.

That would be in line with fishing and shipwreck discoveries. You can only get those again after losing the card. I confirmed this for fish and shipwreck discoveries, but I haven't lost an astronomy card so far.

What should I do to get this information about me?
"It sounds like someone called [XXX] has discovered a new astronomical object!"

Destry1
02-06-2018

Every 3 days + x hours a new astronomical object is available to discover. So keep in mind the time of the last object discovered (you can see this at any adv mediator). Then just keep using recognition in each new sea region (you also need astronomy skill, r1+).

For the rest, you just have to be lucky to come across the right sea zone at the time that the discovery appears, and that another player is not faster than you are.

*Afterwards, if you are the first to discover this object, you need to report the discovery to an adv mediator or guild master.

5 years after my earlier comment, one aide is confirmed to have +1 Astronomy skill: Muriel. She is one of 8 new Rescue NPC aides due to be released in the future. You may preview her skill set (and that of the other new aides) here:

www.inven.co.kr/board/dho/498/18183

Note: As of this comment, we are currently in update Chapter 2.5; Maris must go to Chapter 3 -> Chapter 3.5 -> "Beyond the Vision" to reach these new aides. It's to be hoped that like the 6 Rescue NPC aides before them, the new 8 aides will not become UWC-only.

My thanks to Beomi for forwarding me the list, and for the fine investigative work of Adventure.N (and any others who may have been involved). Cheers. /toast

With the release of Extra Chapter- I mean Chapter 4: Polaris, a new type of charting exists. This skill is vital to being able to complete it and obtain amazing new rewards.

Here's a link to Beomi's guide with plenty of information stored for your perusal, including what mysterious steps actually mean -- I'm looking at you, "Discover something symbolic" direction -- too:
