... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...

Astronomy Discussion Forums . Forums: . ... TIME DILATION . ... Time dilation is what we take to be the disagreement in the total time of an event as measured by a moving frame and stationary frame. ... Imagine a car 100km from a stationary observer and which is positioned such that it would travel 200km on a straight line in a direction away from the stationary observer. ... Therefore the total time of motion of the car as measured by the stationary observer is T= t- 100km/C + (100km+200km/C). ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...
