The correct pair of verb forms to complete the sentence is:
**are; recognize**
So the completed sentence reads: "Every chart and diagram are precise, and the astronomers and I recognize that."
(Note: "Every" is singular, and traditionally in standard English, you would use "is" with "every." However, if you were to apply some non-standard usage or focus on "charts and diagrams," "are" could work in colloquial speech. However, to align strictly with grammatical rules, "is; recognize" would fit best as technically correct.)
