How to use in-sentence of “parallax”:
– It was named for the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus and is also an acronym for HIgh Precision PARallax COllecting Satellite.
– Astronomers have invented various ways to solve this problem, though none are so accurate as the parallax method is for relatively nearby objects.
– The stars are much farther away than was generally assumed in ancient times; and the tiny amount of stellar parallax is only detectable with telescopes.
– Wd1 is too far away for direct measurement of the distance by parallax measurements, so the distance must be got from the expected absolute magnitude of the stars and estimates of the extinction towards the cluster.
– Nearby objects have a larger parallax than more distant objects when observed from identical positions, so parallax can be used to determine distances.
Example sentences of “parallax”:
– Our system of vision uses parallax to give precise depth information, called stereopsis.
– In astronomy, annual parallax is the only direct way to measure distance to stars outside the solar system.
– To avoid errors due to parallax a plane mirror is mounted below the compass needle.
– The stars are in fact much farther away than was generally assumed in ancient times, which is why stellar parallax is only detectable with telescopes.
– The old geocentric model explained planetary parallax, and was assumed to be the reason why no stellar parallax was observed.
– In essence, parallax is the perceived shifting phenomenon which occurs when an object is viewed from different positions.
– The sources for this information were the Yale Parallax Catalog, Hipparcos, Soderhjelm 1999, Tinney 1996.
– HHAL had to make parallax scrolling for “F-1 Race” because the NES hardware did not support it.
– It was one of the first stars whose distance was estimated through parallax measurements.
– The method only fails with objects which are so distant that the earth’s orbit is too small to get a large enough parallax angle to measure accurately.
– Astronomers use the principle of parallax to measure distances to celestial objects including to the Moon, the Sun, and to stars beyond the Solar System.
– For this calculation to work, footnotes and references for the parallax and its error should be placed in “parallax_footnote” rather than “parallax” or “p_error”.
– Canopus is too far away for Earth-based parallax observations to be made, so the star’s distance was not known with certainty until the early 1990s.
– Hubble Space Telescope measurements of the expansion of NGC 6543: Parallax distance and nebular evolution.
- Our system of vision uses parallax to give precise depth information, called stereopsis.
- In astronomy, annual parallax is the only direct way to measure distance to stars outside the solar system.
