As the US shifts its clocks forward, scientists warn of a larger temporal problem: with multiple missions to the moon in the planning phase, it's time to set a Lunar time standard.
But for it to work, both the landing site and the satellites need to know what time it is.
. Specifically, the moon's lower gravity and its motion relative to Earth cause time to pass around 56 microseconds faster each earth day. To get accurate positions,"you need the level of nanoseconds," he says. In other words, the different rate of time flow on the moon means that clocks on the lunar surface cannot simply be run from Earth. Instead, he thinks a set of lunar clocks will need to be created that keep a special"moon" time.

Astronauts Could Clear Lunar Dust Away with Nitrogen SprayOne of the last times we did an article about a technology that could remove lunar dust from clothing, we opened it with a famous meme line from Star Wars. That also means we should probably avoid subjecting everyone to it again here. Still, the fact that we’ve had an opportunity to use it more … Continue reading 'Astronauts Could Clear Lunar Dust Away with Nitrogen Spray'
