    Barnard's Star, showing position every 5 years in the period 1985–2005.Barnard's Star is the star with the highest proper motion. [1]In astronomy, stellar kinematics is the observational study or measurement of the kinematics or motions of stars through space.

  3. Parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

    The amount of shift is quite small, even for the nearest stars, measuring 1 arcsecond for an object at 1 parsec's distance (3.26 light-years), and thereafter decreasing in angular amount as the distance increases.

  4. Stellar parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_parallax

    Stellar parallax is most often measured using annual parallax, defined as the difference in position of a star as seen from Earth and Sun, i.e. the angle subtended at a star by the mean radius of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The parsec (3.26 light-years) is defined as the distance for which the annual parallax is 1 arcsecond. Annual parallax ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_in_astronomy

    A parsec is the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object that has a parallax angle of one arcsecond (not to scale). The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,265 astronomical units (AU), i.e. 30.9 trillion kilometres (19.2 trillion miles).
