Distance

[edit]

As I found it: 'Distance - 909 Mpc (2.9x Mly)' . Some error? 909MPc =~ 3GLy. Also in conflict with Abell 2261-BGC, which has 'Distance - 3GLy'. Here, '3 Mly' was auto-generated by html 'convert' tag: 'convert|909|Mpc|Mly|0|...'. Quick fix: I changed "Mly to Gly"; we now have "3 Gly". Longer term: Fix "convert" error? Excise convert from this page? PS- I would prefer "MLy" and "MPc" to "Mly" and "Mpc", (if practical) on the grounds that the first character of the base unit Ly or Pc should be capitalized, even if there is a multiplier prefix "M" or "G". jimswen (talk) 19:28, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
