Jun 23, 2024 · Parallax is the change in the apparent position of objects from different viewpoints. For example, from one viewpoint, a nearby house may appear in front of a hill, and from another, it may be in front of a lake. Objects at different distances appear to move by different amounts.
Jun 26, 2024 · Simply put, parallax is an inconsistency that occurs when you are looking through your optic at a target. The definition states that parallax is “the apparent displacement of an object when viewed from two different points that are not in line with the object.”
Jun 17, 2024 · The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (a member of the triple system of Alpha Centauri), has a parallax of 0.76813″, meaning that its distance is 1/0.76813, or 1.302, parsecs, which equals 4.24 light-years.
5 days ago · Before the publication of the Hipparcos Catalogue (1997), there were two slightly conflicting parallax measurements for Betelgeuse. The first, in 1991, gave a parallax of 9.8 ± 4.7 mas, yielding a distance of roughly 102 pc or 330 ly.
2 days ago · It was one of the first stars whose distance was estimated through parallax measurements. Vega has functioned as the baseline for calibrating the photometric brightness scale and was one of the stars used to define the zero point for the UBV photometric system.

3 days ago · The parallax of Alpha Centauri was subsequently determined by Henderson from many exacting positional observations of the AB system between April 1832 and May 1833. He withheld his results, however, because he suspected they were too large to be true, but eventually published them in 1839 after Bessel released his own accurately determined ...
