8. Astrometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrometry

   Astrometry is an important step in the cosmic distance ladder because it establishes parallax distance estimates for stars in the Milky Way. Astrometry has also been used to support claims of extrasolar planet detection by measuring the displacement the proposed planets cause in their parent star's apparent position on the sky, due to their ...

   Local Sheet. The Local Sheet in astronomy is a nearby extragalactic region of space where the Milky Way, the members of the Local Group and other galaxies share a similar peculiar velocity. [2] This region lies within a radius of about 7 Mpc (23 Mly ), [3] 0.46 Mpc (1.5 Mly) thick, [1] and galaxies beyond that distance show markedly different ...
