Do they have daylight savings on Mars?<\/p>\n
I never realized how much of a problem time and dates can be between planets. Maybe I just got used to the whole “Stardate” concept, or something, but I never figured that Mars having a different rotational period would effect its day<\/i>. Year, sure, but having a different length day caught me by surprise. Anyhow, I<\/i> may not have thought of it, but scientists at NASA sure have. This article on Asrobiology Magazine <\/a>describes what they’re going through to allow for this. It’s quite a challenge!<\/p>\n You can read more about how Martian time works, and differs from Earth time, at Marsbase Dot Net<\/a>. And, if you’d like something to help you keep track of what time it actually is on Mars, you can get the Mars Time Tool <\/a>from the Goddard Instituite for Space Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do they have daylight savings on Mars?
