Astronomers use parallax from the Earth's orbit around the sun to measure angular distance to nearby stars. Most of the things you see with a telescope are far enough away so that they appear fixed in the sky. With a good telescope, most of them are likely to be galaxies. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
