There is no direct method currently available to measure the distance to stars farther than 400 light years from Earth, so astronomers instead use brightness measurements. It turns out that a star's color spectrum is a good indication of its actual brightness.

App Store Description

There is no direct method currently available to measure the distance to stars farther than 400 light years from Earth, so astronomers instead use brightness measurements. It turns out that a star's color spectrum is a good indication of its actual brightness.

So we have devised a solution for astronomers and students who need help to calculate distance of stars from earth.We have a parameter of Time of light arriving on earth. This is how we calculate time of light it take from stars to reach on earth. As we can measure approximate distance from each this way. This app is a learning solution for researchers and we may have really a fun using this app.

Education apps like this helps a lot for learning concepts of science and applied mathmatics. It turns out that measuring the distance to a star is an interesting problem! Astronomers have come up with two different techniques to estimate how far away any given star is.The Earth's orbit around the sun has a diameter of about 186 million miles (300 million kilometers). By looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With a little trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. The technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth. We have applied a ideal calculation of Time and distance for stars measuring distance.
