I just remember that a parsec is the same as a light year. By astronomical standards of precision, that's about right.

  If you're measuring galactic distances (nearest galaxy is 2 million light years away) then that's fair, but for "nearby" objects, a 3x the distance means a lot.

  I remember it as 1/12th of a Kessel Run, easy peasy

    The Kessel Run as performed by the Millennium Falcon; not just any ship can do that!

  Is that the same as discarding constants in big O notation?
