Light seconds, light years, light centuries: How to measure extreme distances – Yuan-Sen Ting (video)
Ted Ed video:When we look at the sky, we have a flat, two-dimensional view. So how do astronomers figure the distances of stars and galaxies from Earth? Yuan-Sen Ting shows us how trigonometric parallaxes, standard candles and more help us determine the distance of objects several billion light years away from Earth. https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-we-measure-distances-in-space-yuan-sen-ting Space, Light,…
