A digital clock is displaying 8:59:60 at JR Koganei Station in Koganei on July 1, 2015, marking the moment a leap second was added to the world clock. The adjustment is carried out to synchronize the time standard measured by atomic clocks with the world clock, which is based on a range of parameters including the speed of the Earth’s rotation. Koganei is home to the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, which is responsible for managing Japan’s time standard. ( The Yomiuri Shimbun via AP Images )
