attoparsec n.   About an inch.   `atto-' is the standard SI    prefix for multiplication by 10^(-18).   A parsec (parallax-second)    is 3.26 light-years; an attoparsec is thus 3.26 * 10^(-18) light    years, or about 3.1 cm (thus, 1 attoparsec/{microfortnight} equals    about 1 inch/sec).   This unit is reported to be in use (though    probably not very seriously) among hackers in the U.K.   See {micro-}.
