Leap Second - 30th June 2015
Tuesday, 30th June 2015
At midnight tonight an extra second - a so called "leap second" will be added to all atomic clocks.
Hosting Advisory
Some people are describing it as a 1 second pause and others are describing it in more visual terms - If you are looking at an atomic clock at around midnight it will read 23:59:60 before ticking forward to 00:00:00.
The leap second allows the Earth's rotation, which is gradually slowing, to catch up with atomic clocks, keeping official time correct.
