I have applied my formulae for astronomical distance
to the de Sitter world to show how they work. In view of
the probability (see page 19) that the real universe
approximates to the de Sitter world as regards the future
and the recent past, but not as regards the remote past,
the numerical results on page 83 are not reliable. But
the formula (85) should give a reliable approximation
when the more accurate form of (84) is established. So far
as I am aware, the formula (86) has not been given before.

As I have already indicated, I hope in a future
investigation to apply my formulae for distance to the Expanding Universe, and see whether any corrections are
needed on the numerical results which have been established.
