Default Star Distances

Which means it's worthless. As they've been using parallax for an awefull
long time now and it's worked just fine.

What is it that's said?

If it's not broken ... Don't fix it.

I think parallax is the problem but it doesn't seem that Roemer's
Hypothesis, which should be "obvious" for us today, has anything to do
with that problem. It deals with time, parallax depends on angles.
Now I do have my own ideas on what's wrong with parallax measurements,
but I ain't talking just yet.

Central to the Roemerian insight is that due to finite light
speed,astronomical adjustments have to be made for the position and
motion of celestial objects hence the original expression as the
'Equation of Light' or Mora Luminis.Those adjustments,such as the
anomalous motion of Io are based on the difference between the
anomalous and mean motions,in this case the orbital motions of Earth
and Jupiter, their changing distances and finite light speed account
for the behavior of Io.

Parallax is a conceptual dead end which forces the stellar background
into the astronomical insights which rely on the planetary cycles of
the solar system.It is extremely ineffective for 21st century data
whereas the original Roemerian insight generates powerful productive
avenues for application to the cosmos on the scale of galaxies.

Shut up you loon, you have no idea of astronomy past 1600...

Hipparcos says you are talking ****.
