I previously mentioned a method for measuring distance in space using novae.
There is another method, called cepheid. The Wikipedia article is a good place to start.
It is important to note that this methodology is dependent on the assumption that these stars are behaving the way that we believe they are, and that our estimates of measuring the distance to some of them is correct.
