What time is it on the moon?
Manage episode 426999092 series 2459706
Scientists are returning to the moon, but when they get there, what time is it?
Dr Carly Howett from the Department of Physics explains the basics: what time is, and how we found a globalised way of understanding time zones so we can meet for a 3pm coffee or international video call, and everyone is in the right place at the right time.
But how does that translate to space and why could the consequences of incorrect timekeeping be disastrous for space craft docking missions?
If you want to get to grips with the weird and wonderful world of lunar time, then tune in to our latest podcast to find out more!
