What is a Light Year (ly)?
The light year is a unit of distance that represents how far light travels in one year in a vacuum. It is commonly used in astronomy to describe interstellar distances.
What is a Megaparsec?
A megaparsec (Mpc) is an astronomical distance unit equal to one million parsecs (∼3.26 million light-years). Cosmologists use it to measure the vast distances between galaxies and galaxy clusters.
