Measuring distances is one of the most important, and often most difficult, tasks in astronomy. Several methods can be used, but only a few yield the distance in a relatively simple way. We shall discuss the most reliable method where it can be used, that of parallax, in this section. Other less direct methods will be discussed later. |
