You are great. Thank you very much for many clips about astronomy. My son is preparing for Thailand Astronomy Olympaid#16 end of this month. We mainly study from your clips. Excellent explanation, you made very difficult thing to be simple and fun.

I have a problem. When I wanna calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun I need app magnitude and abs magnitude, but when I know only app magnitude and I want calculate abs magnitude I need know distance, but I don't know that, cause distance is what I have to calculate. What should I do please?

thank you so much. that was way more helpful than my textbook

Can I use the formula m-M=5log(d/10) to find the distance of the star away from the earth? d=214.78pc

Maybe in these sites the Absolute magnitude I found is -5.14 instead -6.0. What is the abs.mag of Betelgeuse?

this distance is from that reference line or from earth?

I found the different distance for Betelgeuse in many sites (427 ly). Why?

It's the end of October and I can't wait for Orion to rise over the horizon later in the night, so I can see in my 70mm binoculars Betelgeuse's reddish glow.

You just forgot to explain how you found the absolute magnitude. You just gave it a value of (-6.02) but where does that value come from?
