Describe the parallax method for finding the distance to stars.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method?
The apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.7 and its absolute
magnitude is +4.83. The star Sirius has an apparent magnitude of
-1.46 and an absolute magnitude of +1.5. Antares has an apparent
magnitude of +0.92 and an absolute magnitude of -5.3. Which one of
these three objects is intrinsically the brightest? Explain what
these numbers mean and how these three...
