About This Quote
An astronomical parallax is an apparent shift in position of an object as the Earth moves around the sun, an effect that is visible when the object is fairly distant. As an example, if two stars are close enough to appear to be on the same side of the Sun from Earth's perspective, even though they are actually on opposite sides of the Sun, then there will be a parallax. When someone says something about something astronomical, they are referring to something that requires a lot of work. To illustrate this, imagine two people who are talking about making coffee.
One person makes it seem easy by saying “I just plug in the water and put it on.” The other says that it will take a long time because he has to grind the coffee beans and boil up water for several hours before he can brew the coffee. They both have different views of how coffee should be made.
