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.
Twip
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
