So what will you do with your extra second?
On Tuesday, the last-minute of the day will contain 61 seconds, instead of the usual 60. This is being done to keep the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in sync around the world. For more information on how they determine if it is in sync or not you can check out the article below.
If you want your own Atomic Clock that will sync automatically when it gets updated, check these out. You can get a traditional looking one, a digital one, or even a weather station type, that has an Atomic Clock.
Whether you get a traditional looking one here.
Or a digital Atomic Clock here.
Or grab a Weather Station that has a built-in Atomic Clock here.
Never worry about having the wrong time again with any of these. Check out the rest of the story below, it’s an interesting read, and worth learning about and sharing with others, show how smart you are next time someone asks you for the time. ~Tom
