Astronomers Want To Keep Time On The Moon

Pop Quiz: What time is it right now on the moon?  Don't have any idea?  Relax - apparently no one else does, either. The International Astronomical Union is calling on the world's space agencies to develop a standardized time zone for the moon. It's trickier than it sounds - the moon's reduced gravity means time moves slightly faster than on Earth, by 58.7 microseconds per day. NASA is hoping to have a plan finalized by 2026. Would you visit the moon if someone offered you a ticket on a spaceship?
