Calculate the distance to nearby stars using parallax angles measured from Earth's orbit.
Parallax is the apparent shift of a star against the background of distant stars as Earth orbits the Sun.
The parallax angle is half of the total shift observed over six months. Proxima Centauri has the largest known parallax at 0.768 arcseconds.
