Astronomy Cast Ep. 744: Lunar Time
By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay
Streamed live on Feb 10, 2025.
What time is it? OK, fine, what time is it on the Moon? The Moon orbits the Earth, so it doesn’t fall into a specific time zone. Also, there’s lower gravity on the surface of the Moon, which changes the rate that clocks tick. Well… It’s time to introduce Lunar Time.
When are you when you are on the Moon? Researchers are putting together definitions!
