|  | # The rules for leap seconds are specified in Annex 1 (Time scales) of: | ||
|  | # Standard-frequency and time-signal emissions. | ||

|  | # The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) | ||
|  | # periodically uses leap seconds to keep UTC to within 0.9 s of UT1 | ||
|  | # (a proxy for Earth's angle in space as measured by astronomers) | ||
|  | # and publishes leap second data in a copyrighted file | ||

|  | # There were no leap seconds before 1972, as no official mechanism | ||
|  | # accounted for the discrepancy between atomic time (TAI) and the earth's | ||
|  | # rotation.  The first ("1 Jan 1972") data line in leap-seconds.list | ||
|  | # does not denote a leap second; it denotes the start of the current definition | ||
|  | # of UTC. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | # All leap-seconds are Stationary (S) at the given UTC time. | ||
|  | # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so in the unlikely | ||
|  | # event of a negative leap second, a line would look like this: | ||
|  | # Leap	YEAR	MON	DAY	23:59:59	-	S | ||
|  | # Typical lines look like this: | ||
|  | # Leap	YEAR	MON	DAY	23:59:60	+	S | ||
