Parallax[1] - [2] - [3] - [4] - [5] - [6] - [7]
Parallax movement is relatively easy to detect using photography. Pairs of simulated images*, taken six months apart, are shown here as examples. Examine them by clicking the links. Notice that the nearby star is easy to spot when the images are blinked.

*Actual stars also have proper motions. The images used here deliberately omit it. |
