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.
What is a Parsec?
A parsec (pc) is an astronomical unit equivalent to 3.26 light-years or 30.9 trillion km. Originally derived from stellar parallax measurements, it's fundamental in galactic astronomy.
