All inertial frames are identical so if two objects are moving with a constant velocity, it is impossible to do any test which allows to measure the velocities in absolute manner.. Universe. Imagine that you find a star with an unknown distance, but you notice that it has a distinctive characteristic that tells you that it is a specific type of star. And let’s imagine that all stars of that type have the same luminosity, and you happen to know the value of that luminosity. You can then estimate the distance for the star you found from the inverse square law of light:. Lecture 2; . April 9 2013. Previously.. On Astro-2.
