It doesn't seem to be the longest year for every one. If I understand it correct, the leap second will be introduced in UT. This would mean that only for the time zones running at UT and west of it the leap second will result in the longest year since 1992. For the time zones east of UT the leap second will be added in the new year 2009 which isn't a leap year and thus a day shorter. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
