How to pronounce “parsec” in English

The answer is three parsecs, or about 10 light-years, with 95% confidence.

So the first thing is that the parsec is the basic unit of distance that most astronomers use.

So an object that is one parsec away will have a parallactic angle shift of one arc second.

be at a distance of 10 parsecs.

And that used to be called the final parsec problem, where the last parsec, we don't know how they would actually get around to merging with each other.

We believe that we have resolved the final parsec problem.

And the reason that it's named a parsec is that it is the angular shift that you

The closest star to us is almost right around a parsec away.

That red dot is about 10 parsecs, or about 33 light-years in radius.

Like I said, that's 10 parsecs, or 33 light-years.

So the sun would be somewhere around 8,000 to 8,500 parsecs away from the center of our galaxy.

This is a 3D animation of the stars within that radius, 10 parsecs.

And so the limit that we can get out to is something like 50 to 100 parsecs, currently.

Amongst you and your costars, not their characters, who do you think could make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
