COMMENTS
Light takes approximately 3.26 years to cross a parsec.
Like A248424, this is an algebraic integer of degree 86400. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 31 2014
Although the definition has changed, this sequence is preserved in the OEIS for historical reasons. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 14 2017
FORMULA
Equals A248424 / A213614.
EXAMPLE
3.261563777... light-years.
PROG
(PARI) A248645=(A248424=149597870700/tan(Pi/180/3600))/A213614=9460730472580800 \\ Then use eval(select(x->x>".", Vec(Str(%)))) to get the sequence of digits. First, use \pX to get X digits. M. F. Hasler, Oct 31 2014
