Astronomy
Habitable Zone Calculator
Estimate the inner edge of a star's habitable zone in AU based on its luminosity relative to the Sun. Helps astronomers and enthusiasts identify where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface.

Astronomy
Distance Modulus Calculator
Compute distance to a celestial object in parsecs from its apparent and absolute magnitudes using the distance modulus formula d = 10^((m − M + 5)/5). The standard "standard candle" technique for measuring distances across the Milky Way and to nearby galaxies.
