The White House has tasked NASA with the unprecedented mission of establishing a time zone for the moon. This ambitious directive aims to facilitate lunar exploration and potential future settlements by standardizing timekeeping procedures.

This is a significant step forward in humanity's quest to unlock the Moon’s mysteries. Question is- will it work? What challenges lie ahead? Palki Sharma tells you.
