Re: The Astronomy Thread
Yes, it is a an extremely complex process to calculate cosmic distances and positions from our fixed observation post here on Earth with all its limitations. I have a lot of respect for the astronomers and astrophysicists who have developed models and observational methods. The precision of the radial-velocity method in detecting exoplanets, for instance, is nothing short of miraculous to a layman such as me. Scientifically literate or not.
