Exactly. A skeptic examines claims before believing them, that's all. Skeptical is not something you stop being after you're convinced, nor should it be used to describe the woowoo anti-science dogma peddler.

Astronomers are scientists. They take the current theory, look for places where it could be developed further, make predictions, test predictions through observations, then refine the theory based on the new data. Teaching themselves what they didn't know before is what they signed up to do.
