Hi,

It's my first post here, so at first place I would like to say hello to
everyone.
And now back to the subject. Few days ago I've read some articles
about growing number of stars and galactics scientists discover quite
often. Thing that I'm curious about is how do they measure distances
between those objects and your planet, or galaxy. I'am aware mistakes
of that predicted distances are sometimes probably quite big, but i'm
interested in technical issues of this estimations. Can anyone explain
me how do they do this, or maybe point to web pages or articles?

Thanks a lot both of you for links. Now this subject is much clearer
for me :)
