		So William aruged that in general a faint star is at a greater distant than the bright one, and because of their closeness to one another in the telescopic field, the parallax of the brighter star should be easy to spot (Sidgwick, 1953).
		William and his sister left Bath to a house in Datchet, convenient to the royal residence at Windsor Castle, where William was to demonstrate the Royal Family celestial objects of particular interest upon their request.
		William recognized the unreliability of his approach, because he found stars are not distributed uniformly but do in fact cluster, meaning a large number of stars counted in one direction does not always mean that the Galaxy extends a great distance in that direction (Bless, 1996).
