Time to Reset: Why Living on the Moon Requires a New Clock System

To gear up for lunar exploration, scientists emphasize the need for a Lunar Time (LT) system. Current Earth-centric timekeeping doesn't account for the relativistic quirks observed on the Moon, like time ticking 56 microseconds faster each day due to weaker gravity. The new LT is crucial for coordinating international lunar missions and could shape future celestial timekeeping systems. Learn how NASA's research and collaborative efforts pave the way for this time revolution on the Moon!
