10 exametres
To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists distances starting at 10 Em (1019 m or 1,100 light years).
- 13 Em — 1,300 light years — Distance to the Orion Nebula[1]
- 14 Em — 1,500 light years — Approximate thickness of the plane of the Milky Way galaxy at the Sun's location
- 30.8568 Em — 3,261.6 light years — 1 kiloparsec
- 31 Em — 3,200 light years — Distance to Deneb according to Hipparcos
- 46 Em — 4,900 light years — Distance to OGLE-TR-56, the first extrasolar planet discovered using the transit method
- 47 Em — 5,000 light years — Distance to the Boomerang nebula, coldest place known (1 K)
- 53 Em — 5,600 light years — Distance to the globular cluster M4 and the extrasolar planet PSR B1620-26 b within it
