China unveils first timekeeping software for the moon,clocks tick faster
- az09mugen 10mo agoThat's a nice thing, but I have a few remarks/questions. "the International Astronomical Union adopted a broad framework calling for the moon to have its own time reference." I wonder how the "01/01/1970 00:00:00"-for-the-moon will be decided. I hope also there won't be Also, and even if apparently the moon won't be considered as a supplementary set of timezones (thank god no [0]), there will have to be a kind of correspondence with the earth GMT/UTC. And will there have to be a lunar calendar ? There are not so many days in a terrestrial year than on the moon IIRC.I don't quite get the whole picture, but it's interesting. 0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY
