One of the most fundamental physical parameter in astronomy is the distance to the objects we detect in the universe. For many classes of astronomical objects, accurate and proven methods have been developed to determine their distances. Such classes of objects include stars within ∼100 pc from the sun, binary stellar systems, variable stars, stellar clusters, main sequence stars, and other galaxies. It has been, however, more difficult to develop satisfactory methods to determine accurate distances to the more than 1000 planetary nebulae that have been discovered in our galaxy.
