Moon Time Zone

[warrengalloway]

Somewhere in the distance I can hear Tom Scott screaming loudly

[lavaavalon]

A: I thought you said 10pm
B: oh I meant moon 10 pm
A: but we are on mars
B: yeah, I like to use the moon time

Daylight savings is going to be more of a pain in the ass . Lol

"Men! Synchronize your death watches" - spy

[gshiro.]

To be honest I think this is really cool and I can't wait to see what they come up with

[TheRealZarp]

We need Stardates. Thank you star trek 😀

[greenberrygk]

The phrase “lunar new year” is about to get real confusing

[ntexplorer]

Guess Lunar Calendar isn’t enough confusion

[FNRUST]

We got moon time zones before GTA 6 💀💀

I love having a moon time because that gives us a universal basis for what time it is no matter where you are

This is such a easy issue to solve. At a point exactly 90 degrees behind the terminator along the lunar equator from the spinword axis (on the side facing earth), you draw a line that connects the lunar north and south poles. This is your lunar time 0, sync that to GMT and you are done. The moon only needs 4 time zones, at 6 hour offsets since it's spins so slow that daylight dosnt matter on the hour scale.

Curious about the unsynchronization of clocks. Because we can factor in time dilation for GPS satellites, for example. We just run their clocks (relatively) faster, and it works out. For the moon however, I know that the distance to earth (and therefore relative velocity) changes through its orbit, which would both change time dilation. But idk if that’s an actual issue, or if you can still do something like run the clocks fast but in a more clever way

We already have Martian Time.. heck, even watchmakers create watches for Martian Time

it's called Coordinated Mars Time.

[slashriz]

Im sorry, but america doesn't get to make a celestial clock until they switch to the metric system

[baddragonite]

If they could get internet on the moon, would you colonize it?

[SweetenSols]

“Gentleman, synchronize your death watches”

[Dedelblute]

Oh god… I can already feel the pain of lunar timezone conversions.

When coordinated time zones meet the curvature of spacetime

[zakrydavis]

Im sure the homeless people really need to know the time on the moon

[swinde]

If the Moon is only going to be ONE time zone, you might as well make it the same a Coordinated Universal Time. Same as Greenwich mean time.
