1.   Many other distance measurements of relatively nearby stars soon followed.

2.   Astronomers, suspicious of what later turned out to be mere coincidence, initially doubted their distance measurements to the galaxy.

3.   Flight engineer Tom Akers will operate hand-held lasers that will give Ready computer-generated distance measurements once Atlantis is too close for radar to work effectively.

4.   Progress is stalled for the moment, however, because of the conflicting distance measurements being produced by the Hubble telescope and other instruments.

5.   Such distance measurements are the primary means of estimating the rate at which the universe is expanding, and thus estimating its age.

6.   These transceivers can indicate with arrows and distance measurements the location of a buried victim who is carrying a beacon.
