Today, astronomers can detect and measure stellar parallax for thousands of the nearest stars, providing us with direct evidence that earth really does orbit the sun. moreover, as the parallax angle animation shows (return to the main "parallax" screen, and select the "parallax and distance" button), these measurements allow us to calculate distances to these relatively nearby stars. if we hope to use parallax to measure distances to even more-distant stars, which of the following telescopes would be most useful?
a. an extremely large telescope built at the best observing site on earthb. a larger version of the hubble space telescope, placed in earth orbitc. a telescope placed on the same orbit of the sun as earth, but on the opposite side of the sund. a telescope that orbits the sun in the outer solar system

Calculate the minimum energy required to remove one proton from the nucleus 126c. this is called the proton-removal energy. (hint: find the difference between the mass of a 126c nucleus and the mass of a proton plus the mass of the nucleus formed when a proton is removed from 126c.) express your answer with the appropriate units. emin e m i n = nothing nothing request answer part b how does the proton-removal energy for 126c compare to the binding energy per nucleon for 126c, calculated using eb=(zmh+nmn−azm)c2?
