Discusión:HR 5680

According to this page ( http://server7.wikisky.org/starview?object_type=1&object_id=2941&object_name=HD+135591&locale=EN ) , HR 5680 is at 50000 parsec. Are you sure of the distance of 1087 pc?

According to the parallax mesaured by Hipparcos, 1090 parsecs is the approximate distance. But note that the parallax measurement has an error of 30% approximately, so HR 5680 may be much furher (or closer). Nevertheless, 50,000 pc (as appears in the web page) is an enormous distance for a single star observed from the Earth. The center of the Milky Way is some 8,000 pc from us. I would say that 50,000 pc is almost certainly a mistake.--Fran Ara (discusión) 14:11 26 jul 2017 (UTC)
