(ANSAmed) – Paris, 18 June – eye on the clock: the first day of July will be the last one second. The decision comes from the international body that studies the Earth’s rotation and the international reference systems, the rotation of the Earth International and service of systems of reference (Iers) in Paris and responds to the need to synchronize the coordinated universal time (Utc) based on a network of high-precision atomic clocks with the movement of rotation of the Earth about its own axis.
