... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

Hipparchus (and possibly Aristarchus before him) also derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse . Because the Earth casts a much larger shadow than the Moon, such an eclipse usually darkens the entire Moon, for several hours. ... If the Sun is assumed to be very distant, and if the Moon crosses the middle of the shadow (if not, corrections must be made), the width of the shadow is expected to be about 2r , twice the Earth's radius r . ...

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST LONG EXTRAGALACTIC DISTANCE SCALE Gaseous discs of S0 -- Sd galaxies appears to be gravitationally stable or close to stability. Dependence of the gravitational stability parameter of gaseous disc $M_g/M_c$ upon the color index $(B-V)^0_T$ which reflects a relative number of young stars, is found. Here $M_g$ is total mass of gas in a galaxy, $M_c$ - mass of gas which corresponds to marginal stability of gaseous disc at distances from center. ...

Our calculations show that although the Newtonian model works very well for almost all practical purposes for the well known showers during present epochs, there could be some exceptional combinations of orbital elements for which the general relativistic precession in argument of pericentre and its influence on nodal distances could become significantly pronounced and decisive for predicting any earth-meteor intersection. ...

We select in the database all galaxies with known velocity and magnitude and similar to a given template for which we know the distance, the magnitude and the radial velocity. ... We simply have to choose a property which does not depend on the distance, as for example the rotation velocity ( log(vrot) ) and select the galaxies having log(vrot) in a very narrow range around the value for the template galaxy. ... leda@univ-lyon1.fr ...

... The Round Earth . ... Aristarchus around 270 BC derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse (Hipparchus later found an independent method). ... Let R be the radius of that circle and T the time it takes the Moon to go around once, about one month. ... Viewed from Earth, a "new Moon" (occuring between the time a thin crescent is last seen before sunrise and the time one is seen shortly after sunset) happens when the Moon in its apparent motion around the sky overtakes the Sun. ...
