Cepheid variable stars, which have a predictable relationship between their brightness variation period and luminosity, serve as key standard candles, allowing distances to be calculated up to 13 million light-years with Earth-bound telescopes and further with space-bound telescopes. Other standard candles, such as supernovae, are utilized for measuring dista
