PSR B1620-26 PSR B1620-26 PSR B1620-26 is a binary star system located at a distance of 3,800 parsecs (12,400 light-years) in the globular cluster of Messier 4 (M4, NGC 6121) in the constellation of Scorpius. The system is composed of a pulsar (PSR B1620-26 A) and a white dwarf star (WD B1620-26 or PSR B1620-26 B). As of 2000, the system is also confirmed to have an extrasolar planet orbiting the two stars. The double system ("triple" including the substellar companion) is just outside the core of the globular cluster. The age of the cluster has been estimated to be about 12.2
Pace (unit) it was standardized as the distance of two steps (') or five Roman feet ('), about . There were 1000 paces in the Roman mile, which was named after that distance as the ' or '. The Byzantine pace (, "bḗma") was an adaption of the Roman step, a distance of 2½ Greek feet. The double pace (, "bḗma diploûn"), meanwhile, was similar to the Roman unit, comprising 5 Greek feet. The Welsh pace () was reckoned as 3 Welsh feet of 9 inches and thus may be seen as similar to the English yard: 3 paces made up a
