Moon to Get Its Own Time Zone: Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC) Incoming

  • Big Time for Lunar Exploration: The White House has tasked NASA with developing a standardized time system for the Moon by the end of 2026.
  • Farewell Earth Time: This "Coordinated Lunar Time" (LTC) will be crucial for future lunar missions due to the Moon's unique rotation.
  • A Day Unlike Any Other: A lunar day lasts roughly 29.5 Earth days, making Earth time impractical for communication and navigation.
  • Global Effort: Though spearheaded by NASA, LTC is expected to be an international standard for space agencies worldwide.
  • Benefits Beyond the Moon: This system will pave the way for future missions to Mars and beyond, where timekeeping will be equally critical.
