What time is it on the Moon?

Scientists are working to define the first official time for the Moon. This will help to coordinate lunar missions and allow creation of a lunar satellite navigation system. Defining lunar time will involve installing at least three master clocks that tick at the Moon’s natural pace, which is slightly faster than time on Earth because the Moon has weaker gravity. The clocks’ combined output could then be synchronised to Earth time.
