ESA wants to give the moon its own time zone
欧洲航天局拟推动创建“月球时区”
随着人类探索月球的活动逐渐增多，欧洲航天局想要创建一个月球时区。
近日，欧洲航天局发表声明说，世界各地的太空组织都在考虑，如何在月球上拥有一个确切的时间标准。欧洲航天局表示，一个国际公认的月球时区将为人类的探月计划提供很多便利。
With more lunar missions than ever on the horizon, the European Space Agency wants to give the moon its own time zone.
The agency said space organizations around the world are considering how best to keep time on the moon.
European space officials said an internationally accepted lunar time zone would make it easier for everyone, especially as more countries and even private companies aim for the moon and NASA is preparing to send astronauts there.
Right now, without a standard lunar time, each moon mission runs on the time of the country that is operating the spacecraft.
