A U.S. survey furlong is a unit of length equal to one-eighth of a U.S. survey mile.
History/Origin

Current Use
The U.S. survey furlong was used in land surveying in the United States.
Megaparsec
A megaparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one million parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913. The megaparsec came into use as astronomical distance measurements extended to other galaxies.
Current Use
The megaparsec is used to measure the distances between neighboring galaxies and galaxy clusters.
