... Since distance α 1 / parallax, Spica must be at twice the distance of Canopus. (The numbers are 100 pc and 200 pc, but you don’t need to know that.) The more distant star (Spica) appears fainter. Since it is twice as distant as Canopus, it appears 4 times fainter, or ¼ as bright. We could use the ma ...
