  1. Parallax • Draw three diagrams of the plates from three different places in the room. • Did the red plate change position relative to the other plates as you viewed it from different locations? Explain. • If you noted the positions of several stars by using a powerful telescope, what would you expect to observe about their positions if you saw the same stars six months later? Explain.

  2. Distances to Stars • Measured in light-years • parallax an apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different locations. This works best on close stars. p d
