Q and BA Episode 7.5: Suspended Animation

Sad to say, but Q&BA is going on hiatus for a little while. I'm hoping to start it up again this summer, when I have more time to devote to it.

It's too bad this went on a seemingly permanent hiatus, as I really enjoyed this series and I learned a great deal from it too. If you have any plans to revive it that would definitely be somehting I would be interested in and watch. I even have a slew of questions I could ask :)

Space has always fascinated me, and I have learned so much from your live chats, your Q&BA videos, even the questions from kids videos. Keep up the great work

Hello Phil,
Thanks for the awesome vids. I sent you an email w/ a question a while ago, donno whether it ever got through. I wanted to ask you, simply how do we determine distances: e.g. that a galaxy is a few light years away, vs. 80 or 100 million l.y. away vs. 13.2 Billion light years away. Furthermore, how are we able to tell that i.e. W Cephei is >1600X the Sun's diameter and would be 3000ly away. How can we be sure it is not in fact much closer and has a much smaller diameter?

If you have time for a short reply here in the form of a comment, that would be great. I do understand your time constraints too, whenever you can do that would be just fine. Again, thanks a lot for the wealth of info you keep providing.

That's a pretty complicated question. Google "standard candles" and spectral reds shift.

Wow sorry to hear that the Q and A is gone even though you delete my comments from your blog. I'm glad you didn't accept my friend invitation because I would never have such snobby people as a friend. :-)
