Longer example sentences

Data from Hipparcos yielded a surprising result, namely a distance of only 118 parsecs by measuring the parallax of stars in the cluster—a technique that should yield the most direct and accurate results. (34 words)

As the researcher, Harper, points out: "The revised Hipparcos parallax leads to a larger distance (main) than the original; however, the astrometric solution still requires a significant cosmic noise of 2.4 mas. (33 words)

In 1989, the European Space Agency 's Hipparcos satellite took astrometry into orbit, where it could be less affected by mechanical forces of the Earth and optical distortions from its atmosphere. (31 words)

Example sentences (13)

Advertentie

Operated from 1989 to 1993, Hipparcos measured large and small angles on the sky with much greater precision than any previous optical telescopes.

Parallax The new Hipparcos reduction of Rigel's parallax gives a distance of convert, with a margin of error of about 9%.

Results prior to the launch of the Hipparcos satellite generally found that the Pleiades were about 135 parsecs away from Earth.
