Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Parallaxes

👉 Parallax is a concept in astronomy that describes the apparent movement of stars or celestial bodies as they move through space. It occurs when two stars are at different positions relative to each other, and their positions are not aligned perfectly with one another. This motion causes objects like planets and moons to appear to be moved by a small amount of motion. The term "parallax" is derived from the Greek word "paralleto," which means "parallel."
