• Question
10 (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. 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!

•This
is just the reverse of the previous problem. If d=1/p, then p=1/d, right?
