Leap Day has nothing on Leap Second! This year on June 30 at 7:59:59 PM EST we will insert a second in time. This has to do with the fact the the Earth's rotation is slowing down ever so slightly, so we have to add to keep our time correct with the Earth's rotation around the sun. What will you do with your extra second this year?
