[QUOTE="snorkack, post: 6826808, member: 436348"] How did the scientists figure out distance to Jupiter back in 17th century? Römer measured speed of light by 1676, but he got the speed about 30% too slow. How much of it was the error in travel time, how much the error in distance to Jupiter? How much was Römer´s distance in 1676 better than Galilei´s distance, if any, in 1610? [/QUOTE]
