Hi Dr. Chris
Your Podcast, naked astronomy, ask the naked scientist are all very interesting and excellent for science hungry people like us.
Great companion during my daily walk.
My question is on astronomy and very simple. When you look at distant object like stars, the brightness will be controlled by two factors one the luminosity, and the other is the distance. So how can you determine the distance?
Best Regards
