Light Year
A light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year.
History/Origin
The concept of the light-year as a unit of distance in astronomy emerged in the mid-19th century. The first recorded use of the term was in a German astronomical publication in 1851.
Current Use
The light-year is used to express distances to stars and other astronomical objects on a galactic and intergalactic scale, especially in popular science and non-specialist contexts.
Exameter
An exameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "exa-" for 10^18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The exameter is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between galaxies.
