- "I got maps of every star in the galaxy and hyperspace routes between them all."
- ―Astronomer Kh'ymm, c. 9 ABY
An astronomer was a profession in which an individual mapped the galaxy and studied space.[2] Around 9 ABY,[3] astronomer Kh'ymm—who worked from the Observatory Moon—claimed to have in her archives maps of every star in the galaxy, as well as hyperspace routes between them.[1] The astronomers of the Tah'Nuhna charted the cosmos.[2] One ancient astronomer, Harkrova, discovered a star system, which was named the Harkrova system after its discoverer.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. 
SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
