NASA has been instructed by the White House to come up with a new timekeeping system for the moon due to its different gravitational conditions, officials say.
"An atomic clock on the moon will tick at a different rate than a clock on Earth," said Kevin Coggins, NASA's top communications and navigation official. "It makes sense that when you go to another body, like the moon or Mars that each one gets its own heartbeat."
