About these units
Minute (Sidereal) (min (sidereal))
A sidereal minute is 1/60 of a sidereal hour, lasting about 59.836 seconds in solar time. This unit refines astronomical timekeeping, enabling precise tracking of star transits, celestial navigation, and long-exposure astrophotography. Sidereal minutes illustrate how deeply astronomical timing differs from civil timekeeping, demonstrating the challenges of aligning human calendars with cosmic cycles.
Attosecond (as)
An attosecond is 10⁻¹⁸ seconds, one quintillionth of a second. This unfathomably short interval is the domain of electron motion, where electrons shift orbitals, respond to electromagnetic stimuli, and perform quantum tunneling. Attosecond pulses—among the shortest ever created—enable direct observation of electron dynamics inside atoms. These technologies contribute to attosecond physics, a rapidly growing discipline that reveals quantum processes hidden from human intuition. At this scale, classical concepts of motion and time begin to lose meaning; quantum uncertainty and wavefunctions dominate. The attosecond is therefore not just a measurement but a gateway to the most fundamental processes in nature.
