BTW, If we're on a sphere, 2 dimensional parallax math doesn't work to calculate didstance.

The furthest apart that we can place two observatories would be 7,917.5 miles.

Not sure how good you were at trigonometry but we cant physically or accurately measure ANYTHING further than 300,000 miles away from our supposedly sphere shaped earth.

Knowing this, they try to confuse you with "parsecs" which are just over 3 light-years each.

How many miles are in a light-year?

Glad I asked.

186,000 miles per second times 60 seconds times 60 minutes, times 24 hours, times 365 days equals 5.879 × 10 to the 12th power.

That's a hell of a lot more than 300,000 miles for sure.
