Beep…beep…beep!

Don’t forget tonight’s extended, hour long, Mars Sky at Night on BBC4, but in the meantime one of my favourite sites, Londonist, have chosen today to feature the official time signal.
The whole thing reminds me of my stint on the newspaper for the 2000 General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union; the main resolutions (which oddly attracted nowhere near the amount of attention last year’s planet decision did) consisted of an attempt to establish a universal time frame, and consisted of page after page of general relativistic equations. I typed them up, and didn’t understand a word. Everyone duly voted on them, but I don’t think anyone beyond the authors understood what they meant….
