Moon Times

NIST researchers have developed a system called lunar coordinate time with the express purpose to achieve precise timekeeping on the Moon. 

 We may recall US astronauts wore Omegas to the Moon. But maybe their time was off.

 That’s because the Moon's weaker gravity causes clocks to tick faster than on Earth. That’s due to what Einstein reckoned was gravity’s influences on passage of time,

 I guess you could “synchronize watches” as they did in every Mission Impossible heist, and you’d remain in time with your bro buddies, if not the cosmos.

 That may not work when the great era of colonized lunacy arrives, and the machines inside different Ice Stations Gamma Alpha and Zebra call each other at an agreed-to time.

 NIST boffins say this innovation paves the way for a GPS-like navigation system on the Moon, which would greatly enhance lunar exploration efforts by enabling precise landing and navigation capabilities.

 Will they use a distinct satellite network?

 Proposed is a system that aims to create a lunar equivalent of GPS, referred to as a "lunar positioning system," by establishing a network of atomic clocks at specific locations on the Moon's surface and in lunar orbi

Lunar orbiting atomic clocks would function similarly to GPS satellites, providing accurate timing signals for navigation. That to answer the question: “Where’s Neil?”

 NIST, heck yeah!
