Calculate by how many times Betelgeuse is brighter than the Sun, if its parallax is 0.006 arcsec, and its apparent magnitude is m = +.5. Can you first use the parallax to calculate the distance and then use the magnitude-distance formula to find the absolute magnitude of Betelgeuse and finally, compare it to the absolute magnitude of the Sun which is -26,74 because other experts used other methods and the answer was not correct.
