Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
Furlong
A furlong is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, or 660 feet.
History/Origin
The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words "furh" (furrow) and "lang" (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field.
Current Use
Today, the furlong is primarily used in horse racing to state the length of races.
