any astrophysicists here? is this how you calculate the distance to a star (discluding parallax. parallax is gay)
______________________________
Measure λmax through observation
Wien’s Law: λmax = b / T Calculate surface temperature
Stefan-Boltzmann law: luminosity = σT4 calculate luminosity
Measure starlight intensity through observation (all wavelengths)
Intensity = luminosity / 4πD2
Therefore 4πD2 = luminosity / intensity
Calculate D (distance to star)

its like a monoid thread, except that it's not remotely depressing or suicudal, and is about astrophysics.

i'd say monoid has created a thread or two about astrophysics in his time.
his name is monoid, after all.
