... 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 . ...
