Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR Chief Kristin Cabot have become cynosure of all eyes on the social media after their cozy moment during Coldplay's recent concert in Boston, Massachusetts was captured on camera and subsequently went viral. The viral clips from the gig shows British rock band frontman Chris Martin unintentionally putting a spotlight on a man and woman, who were seen on the jumbotron, standing draped in each other's arms. The man and woman were soon identified as Byron and Cabot, respectively. When the camera focused on them, both individuals quickly moved away and tried to hide their faces as they appeared on the big screen. While both Byron and Cabot have been accused of cheating on their respective partners, people are also curious about the company they work for -- Astronomer Inc.
