About Aries
Look for a small triangle of stars, Triangulum. Then to the bottom/left of it, you should see a constellation that consists of three stars. That one is Aries. It's the constellation with two relatively bright stars.

This constellation, Aries "The Ram", is of considerable importance since the sun passed through it at the vernal equinox. It is believed that it may have been the one whose golden fleece was the object of Jason's quest. The Greeks just took over a much older horned animal at this time of the year. The horn being a symbol of fecundity, renewal, and so forth. When the sun came into Aries at the vernal equinox, the year itself was actually being renewed.

Parallax
Parallax is an apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different locations. D= 1/p
 * 1) Look at the star from two points
 * 2) Measure the angular distance when the star moved
 * 3) Divide one by the angle
