Love to see some humble honesty about unsettled science. I never trusted the parallax method for distance to stars.

The next time some Mask Karen or Lockdown-loving politician preaches "we must follow the science," remind them that the red giant star Betelgeuse...turned out to be closer to Earth than previous measurements suggested. This means that it's neither as large nor as bright as we thought.

As was said elsewhere, science isn't math.
