... With a baseline of 1 AU, how far way would a star have to be to have a parallax (p) of 1 arcsec? The answer is 206,265 AU, or 3.26 LY Astronomers take this number as another unit (besides the light year) for astronomical distances, called the parsec (abbreviated pc) In other words, 1 parsec is the d ...

Astronomers calculate that a star with a mass greater than 100 solar masses will emit radiation so intense that it will prevent more material from falling into the star, thereby limiting the star’s size. 7. Protostars with ...

The radiation from O5 stars is so intense that it can ionize hydrogen over a volume of space 1000 light years across. ...

The sight was easy to align because the horizon and the star seem to move together as the ship pitched and rolled. This also created a situation where the error in obser ...
