I loved reading this story about time — what to do about leap seconds, and the growing mismatch between atomic & celestial time. Fiction #writers may find plot inspiration here. Kudos to Alanna Mitchell. Time Is Running Out for the Leap Second

Time Has Run Out for the Leap Second

To the world’s timekeepers, the leap second is a kludge, a bane, a pain in the little hand. Now they’re ditching it. Will our days ever be the same?

Big day today: our editor sent us drafts of the cover for "A Second Chance For Yesterday." Still a work in progress, so can't be shared yet. The design has distinctive line art that makes it stand out from the painterly covers popular today. It definitely reads visually as sci-fi.

Plug in the distance you want to traverse and the acceleration and this little calculator will give you the travel time and maximum speed. As a sci-fi author it's one of the most useful tools online, and it's fun to play around with too: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/space-travel
