The cosmic distance ladder employs a series of methods to measure increasingly vast astronomical distances, with each technique building upon the previous one for verification. Parallax, using stellar ...

Nothing truly outpaces a laser distance measure when it comes to taking quick, accurate measurements. They come in a wide range of working distances and feature sets that can allow you to calculate ...

Pasadena, CA — Ohio State University researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement ...

A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

It’s a bit mind-bending to realise that everything we know about the scale of the universe comes from people stuck […] ...

Hamamatsu introduce a new range of image sensors designed for high-precision TOF (time-of-flight) distance measurements. The S11961-01CR is the industry’s first linear image sensor for TOF distance ...

A research team from Imperial College London and the University of Barcelona has used data from astronomical surveys to measure a standard distance that is central to our understanding of the ...

In November 2009, the USGA and The R&A issued a ‘Joint Statement’ on electronic devices, including distance-measuring devices, to clarify how the Rules are applied in relation to these devices. This ...
