Parallax

Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines. The term is derived from the Greek word παράλλαξις (parallaxis), meaning "alteration". Due to foreshortening, nearby objects have a larger parallax than more distant objects when observed from different positions, so parallax can be used to determine distances.

Astronomers use the principle of parallax to measure distances to the closer stars. Here, the term "parallax" is the semi-angle of inclination between two sight-lines to the star, as observed when the Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun in its orbit. These distances form the lowest rung of what is called "the cosmic distance ladder", the first in a succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects, serving as a basis for other distance measurements in astronomy forming the higher rungs of the ladder.

'Parallax' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Green Lantern (2011)

Actors: Logan Douglas Smith (actor), Geoffrey Rush (actor), Peter Sarsgaard (actor), Michael Clarke Duncan (actor), Tim Robbins (actor), Ryan Reynolds (actor), Jay O. Sanders (actor), Griff Furst (actor), Douglas M. Griffin (actor), Lance E. Nichols (actor), Clancy Brown (actor), Ritchie Montgomery (actor), Ryan Reynolds (actor), Angela Bassett (actress), Mark Strong (actor),

Plot: A cocky test pilot, Hal Jordan ('Ryan Reynolds (I)' (qv)), acquires superhuman powers when he is chosen by "the Ring", the willpower-fed source of power, of the Green Lantern Intergalactic Corps. He, reluctantly at first, takes on the challenges these superheroes face. Putting his self-doubts aside, and spurred on by his sense of duty and love for his beautiful, intellectually equal, colleague, Carol Ferris ('Blake Lively' (qv)), he is soon called to defend mankind from Parallax, a super-powerful being who feeds on fear. He is the universe's last chance, as many Lanterns have been killed and the Corps is weakened. And he might just be the right Lantern for the job of keeping the world safe from harm. Based on the characters of DC Comics series "Green Lantern".

Quotes:

Hal Jordan: Now, pay attention...::[puts the ring on his finger and suits up]::Thomas Kalmaku: Whoa, green!::[both laugh]::Hal Jordan: I know, right?

Thomas Kalmaku: What happens now?::Hal Jordan: I go looking for trouble!

Hal Jordan: Hey, Carol. Was gonna do a little flying today. What do you think?::Carol Ferris: I think you're late.::Hal Jordan: Yes, that's only because I slept in.::Carol Ferris: I used to sleep in. Then I turned 11. Let me give you a little heads-up. I've gone up against these Sabres all week and they have smoked me every time. There isn't anything you can do that they can't do better, faster and without disappointing woman everywhere.::Hal Jordan: I, uh, think we both know that's not true.::Carol Ferris: This is exactly why I didn't want you for this. My father did. I would've gone with Jensen.::Hal Jordan: I'd have gone with Jensen too. But unfortunately, he's busy not being good enough.::Carol Ferris: At least he shows up. Hal, this test today, it's important.::Hal Jordan: I got it. I'm gonna make you look good up there. Don't worry, okay? Now let's get these pants off and fly some planes.

Hal Jordan: You know, I used to know this kid. Was a funny looking bastard. One day, he's standing on the mound, and he throws a perfect game.::Jason Jordan: That... that was me.::Hal Jordan: That was you? Thought you looked familiar. You were totally in the zone that day. Remember?::Jason Jordan: I still dream about it.::Hal Jordan: I bet.::[grabs a baseball]::Hal Jordan: Take it. Close your eyes. Go on. Now, can you remember exactly how you felt that day? That's how I feel when I'm flying. Like that plane is a part of me. No, it's like, no matter how bad things get, there's something good out there just over the horizon.

[from trailer]::Hal Jordan: [to his one-night stand] Sorry, I'm late. Help yourself, there's water from the tap! [rushes off to work]

Sinestro: A great light has gone out in the universe. Abin Sur is dead. Four of my Lantern brothers killed. The inhabitants of two worlds annihilated by an unknown enemy. An enemy that possesses the yellow power of fear. We know it originated from somewhere within the Lost Sector. We know it grows more powerful with each encounter. According to Abin Sur's last transmission, he seemed to know what it was. His only words were, "It's Parallax."::First Guardian: We are aware of the threat. We are assessing the situation.::Sinestro: While you assess, innocent lives will be lost! Let me take this fight to this new enemy!::Female Guardian: There is much of which you are not aware, Sinestro.::First Guardian: If the danger is as great as we suspect...::Sinestro: What are you saying? You believe this enemy can defeat us?... Guardians, if your faith in our power has faltered, let me renew it. Let me take a squadron of my strongest Lanterns against this enemy, and I'll prove to you our best days are not behind us.

Hal Jordan: A talking fish...::Tomar-Re: Actually, my race is Xudarian. Our DNA does some what resemble your own ichthyological species. I am Tomar-Re, protector of Sector 2613 and home to...::Hal Jordan: 80,012 galaxies, 2.34 million sentient species. How do I know that?::Tomar-Re: The induction process. It activates the ring's higher functions, including a working knowledge base. In truth, we were curious. The process has never been attempted on a species as young as humans before. As you are the first to be chosen, I've been sent to welcome you here.::Hal Jordan: And here is?::[Tomar-Re shows him an alien metropolis]::Tomar-Re: Welcome to Oa.

Tomar-Re: Of all the threats the Corps ever faced, the gravest was an entity of fear known as Parallax. Only the legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur was capable of capturing and imprisoning this beast, which he did on the lost planet of Ryut.

[from trailer]::Tomar-Re: After the defeat of the Corps' finest warrior, the search for his successor began...::Abin Sur: Choose well... [the ring flies across the world]::Tomar-Re: And for the first time, the ring chose a human.

[Jordan makes a construct of a saber]::Sinestro: A sword. How human...
