According to recent (August 2017) research by the University of New South Wales, it was an unknown mathematician (or mathematicians) in Babylon. They produced a tablet, known as Plimpton 322, which contains tables of trig ration. This was some 1500 years before the Greek astronomer Hipparchus who, until now, was regarded the father of trigonometry. Thus, the Babylonian(s) may have been the first two astronomers - their identities are not recorded.

The two branches of trigonometry are plane trigonometry, which deals with figures lying wholly in a single plane, and spherical trigonometry, which deals with triangles that are sections of the surface of a sphere.
Trigonometry based on a unit circle and radians and trigonometry based on a right triangle.
According to Math experts, Hipparchus, Menelaus, and Ptolemy are responsible for developing Greek trigonometry for the purposes of studying differences in shapes of the planets, sun and moon. By observing the shapes of each, they were able to determine the ratios and areas of each one.

One example of an astronomer's use of trigonometry is determining the distance to a star by triangulation.
They use complicated trigonometry and mathematics.
