Ptolemy later measured the lunar parallax directly (Almagest V.13), and used the second method of Hipparchus with lunar eclipses to compute the distance of the Sun (Almagest V.15).
Ptolomej je kasnije izmjerio izravno mjesečevu paralaksu (Almagest V.13) i koristio je drugu Hiparhovu metodu s pomrčinama Mjeseca da izračuna udaljenost do Sunca (Almagest V.15).
