Introductory Astronomy: Parallax, the Parsec, and Distances
Video lecture that discusses the concept of parallax, the unit of the parsec, and how astronomers can determine the distances to the most nearby stars. Since many of you come here because "parsec" is mentioned in Star Wars, I highly recommend you get this book: https://amzn.to/2R72QoU Disclosure: some of the links in this video description are affiliate links, meaning at no additional cost to you, I may receive a commission if you click through and make a purchase.
