Extra Second Added To Align Sun Time With Atomic Time
Scientists at the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder say June 30, 1972 will gain one second to synchronize sun time with atomic time. The adjustment, decided at the 1967 Weights and Measures conference, helps navigators, space probes, and computers.
