  "description": "**\ud83d\udccd The location of this session might change, please check here again before the session starts. \ud83d\udccd**\r\n\r\nInstead, we know these distances by a wondrous interplay of theory and observations known as the cosmic distance ladder, where earlier rungs in the ladder unlock later rungs.\r\n\r\nNo prerequisites needed. You can try some of the discussed ideas at home. We will also touch on an error committed by the ancient greeks -- which was repeated in the 20th century, until Henrietta Swan Leavitt saved the day.\r\n\r\n**[Slides](https://chaos.quasicoherent.io/)**\r\n\r\n\ud83e\uddee",
