  2. How do you measure distances when you’re too lazy to get off the couch? TV is 6 or 7 years old, new TVs are cheap, so it’s a great time to upgrade! Problem: I know roughly how much bigger I’d like the new TV to be (about or a little less than 2x bigger), but I don’t know how big my current TV is. How do I measure it? WITHOUT relinquishing my seat to the cat. ASTR/PHYS 4080: Introduction to Cosmology Spring 2018: Week 06 2
