What is a US Survey Chain?
The US survey chain (∼20.1168 m) used the US survey foot. This measurement was key in the rectangular survey system that mapped the American frontier.
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.
