Unit Definition (kerat)
The kerat is a traditional Middle Eastern unit of length, equal to about 9/8 inch or 2.86 centimeters. The unit has the same Arabic root as the carat or karat.

Unit Definition (hubble)
The hubble is a unit of distance sometimes used in astronomy. The hubble is a gigantic unit, equal to 10E9 light years. This is 9.4605 x 10E21 kilometers (9.4605 yottameters, if you please), 5.8785 sextillion miles (U.S.), 63.240 x 10E12 astronomical units, or 306.595 megaparsecs. In practice, most astronomers use the megaparsec for measuring such stupendous distances. The unit honors the American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953), who discovered the expansion of the Universe later explained by the Big Bang theory.
