Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position (parallax) of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant stars. By extension...

the father of modern astrometry. He made the first measurement of stellar parallax: 0.3 arcsec for the binary star 61 Cygni. In 1872, British astronomer...

that if Earth moves a stellar parallax would change the location of stars in the sky during the year. Although stellar parallax does exist, stars are...

an annual stellar parallax should be observed, though none was at the time. Aristarchus and Copernicus had correctly postulated that parallax was negligible...
