Making Measurements Over Millions of Miles

How far away are the stars? What about distant galaxies? How far to the edge of the observable universe? These are questions that have taken some incredible ingenuity to tackle, and there isn’t a single tool that can answer these questions. So how exactly do astronomers make measurements of distances that we can’t travel? Join Standley Lake Stargazing this week as we explore the “cosmic ladder” and how astronomical distances are measured.
