Measuring the vast distances in the cosmos presents a significant challenge to astronomers. Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explores the methods used to determine these distances, highlighting the importance of accurate measurements for understanding the universe's scale and evolution. From parallax measurements for nearby stars to standard candles like supernovae for more distant objects, astronomers employ a range of techniques. Prescod-Weinstein emphasizes the ongoing refinements and cross-validation of these methods to ensure the reliability of cosmological distance measurements, crucial for testing our models of the universe.
