Astronomical unit of measurement (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

light year

(Other definitions for light year that I've seen before include "Nearly 6 million million miles" , "Astronomical unit of distance" , "that is way beyond anyone's reach!" , "Long unit of distance" , "About six million million miles per annum" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
