- Parsec abstract "A parsec (symbol: pc) is an astronomical unit of length used to measure distances to objects outside the Solar System. About 3.3 light-years (31 trillion kilometres or 19 trillion miles) in length, the parsec is still less than the distance to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, 1.3 parsecs from Earth. Nevertheless, most of the stars visible to the unaided eye in the nighttime sky lie within 500 parsecs of the Sun.The parsec unit was likely first suggested in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. Named from an abbreviation of the parallax of one arcsecond, it was defined so as to make calculations of astronomical distances quick and easy for astronomers from only their raw observational data. Partly for this reason, it is still the unit preferred in astronomy and astrophysics, though the light year remains prominent in popular science texts and more everyday usage. While parsecs are used for the shorter distances within our galaxy, multiples of parsecs are required for the larger scales in the universe, including kiloparsecs for more distant galactic objects, megaparsecs for the nearer galaxies, and even gigaparsecs for many quasars and the most distant galaxies.".
