... Answer: “Why” first. Nearly all stars in a cluster formed about the same time. High mass stars, in the upper part of the Main Sequence, have shorter lifetimes. Lifetime on the Main Sequence increases smoothly as mass decreases. So: the first stars to turn into Red Giants (and pass rapidly through ot ...

... Why are earth-based parallax measurements limited to the nearest stars? Parallax measurements are limited because we measure the motion of a star due to the motion of Earth around the sun. Earth’s orbit is so small compared to the distance to stars that even the nearest stars show very small apparen ...
