• Question
3 (1 point)In Star Wars, Han Solo claims the Millenium Falcon can make the Kessel Run in less than 12
parsecs. Huh? That's a
distance, not a time! Star Wars fans claim this line doesn't refer to a trip in the conventional way, but rather a
specific smuggling
task through warped space. You should now know where the term parsec comes from. What is the
parallax of a star 12
parsecs from Earth?
a. 12 arcseconds.
b. 6 arcseconds. c. 1/6 arcseconds.
•d.
1/12 arcseconds. e. I don't
know what parallax means!
