Scientific paper

Double-lined eclipsing binaries are (still) our main source for accurate information on stellar masses radii and luminosities. Also they offer very direct distance determinations useful within the Milky Way and for Local Group Galaxies. I will briefly review the methods involved and discuss critically their advantages and limitations. Furthermore past and recent highlights will be presented.
