NASA reportedly working on 'Moon time'

NASA has reportedly been ordered to create a lunar unified standard of time. According to Reuters, the White House has ordered NASA to set a luna unified standard of time. “Time on the moon is different to earth and not just in the way we kind of experience time as in the days in rotation, but really as a physical way we measure time is slightly different,” ANU Astrophysicist Brad Tucker said. Different due to gravitational and other forces a clock on the moon would move around 60 microseconds slower than on Earth. Having a standard lunar time is vital as navigation equipment like GPS relies on precise timekeeping.
