Lunar Time: A Clock for a Moon That Has None

lunartime.org Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A reference site tracking the proposed Coordinated Lunar Time standard with a live modeled clock, adoption tracker, news, papers, and primary documents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The homepage treats lunar time as a standards-tracking problem rather than a science-fiction premise. Its model starts from the 1977 TCL epoch and applies a stated 56.02-microsecond daily rate difference, while explicitly warning that the result is not a lunar clock reading. The surrounding information architecture includes a decision timeline, paper-by-paper reading, organization map, glossary, and explanations of how a future scale might be realized.
