Comment on Moon Standard Time? Nasa to create lunar-centric time reference system

Because there’s less gravity on the moon, time there moves a tad more quickly – 58.7 microseconds every day – compared with on Earth.

I thought time dilation was caused by bodies moving at high speeds relative to one another, not differences in gravity.

Hey, it’s 6am and I learned something new today. :)
