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 Chain?
The chain (22 yards or 20.1168 m) was crucial in land surveying. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, 10 square chains equal 1 acre. Modern surveyors still use 'chain' terminology.
