Soon we're going to have a new timezone for the moon. Yay, I guess?
Surely they will just use utc?
Can't be that simple due to time dilation effect. Time moves at a different rate in moon, about ~~1s~~ 58.7 μs difference per day.

That article says 58.7 microseconds per (Earth) day. Not 1s.
Shit you're right, I misremembered it.
Appreciate you correcting your post, just one more needed.
ms = milliseconds
us = microseconds
Easier to just round up lol
