One way to triangulate the distance to many remote objects,
such as stars, is to observe the shifts in their location relative
to more distant background objects. This apparent shifting of
an object's location with respect to the background objects is
known as parallax. Parallax is represented in the figure,
where the top image shows the parallax shift that is observed
along a baseline that runs from one side of Earth to the other.
The bottom two images show what the observer sees from
opposite sides of Earth. Using triangulation, the distance to
the object can be calculated with simple trigonometric
relations.
