Abstract
(Abstract only) Observations by variable star observers around the world have been vital in scheduling and executing runs with instruments aboard satellites and large ground-based telescopes. Correlation of multi-wavelength data with optical observations has helped in finding the answers to many astrophysical questions. Some of the significant results that variable star observers helped to obtain are described.
