The U.S. Naval Observatory Alternate Master Clock at 2nd Space Operations Squadron, Schriever AFB in Colorado. This photo was taken in January, 2006 during the addition of a leap second. The USNO master clocks control GPS timing. They are accurate to within one second every 20 million years (Satellites are so picky! Humans, on the other hand, just want to know if we’re too late for lunch) USAF photo by A1C Jason Ridder.

It is designed to clear the palate after several courses of dense technical articles. (The loyal reader to your right, for example, has digested a number of equations and is thrilled at her visit to the Prime Meridian, definitely a GNSS Hotspot)
