Supposedly humans will return to the moon in 2026. But I will remain skeptical until the mission is closer. But also, this would be useful for the far future when humans might live on the moon

Makes sense. But wouldn't the time on the moon be different than Earth?

Misleading title. They're not actually setting a timzeone. They're working out the time dilation caused by the moon's lower gravity.

I'm probably extremly naive about this, but why don't they just do "Moontime = UTC" and add another leap second for them every few decades?

Since Nasa takes care of it, use the same timezone?
