Is kJy as a brightness unit the abomination I think it is?

You nerd sniped me :) In this context, I believe it is a kilo-Jansky, not a kilo-Joule * year.

Every day Hacker News titles, stories, and comments have acronyms and abbreviations I've never seen before, and I have to search for the term to know what it's talking about. I know what a parsec is, but I've never actually seen the pc abbreviation used before. At least I learn something new every day.

You didn't mention but I guess pc here stands for parsecs
