Definition of Parallax. To measure the distance to a star, astronomers measure the parallax shift of the star using 2 points of view that are as far apart as possible-at opposite sides of Earth’s orbit.. Key Ideas. Distance is the most important & most difficult quantity to measure in Astronomy. Method of Trigonometric Parallaxes. Direct geometric method of finding distances.

Tully-Fisher Relationship. Hubble’s ‘Law’ . Trigonometric Parallax. While fundamental, this method is very limited in terms of how far away one can use it. For large numbers of star, ground-based measurements of parallax do not get beyond about 20 pc, although on individual objects this can be extended to about 100 pc (with much effort). .
