GERMANY-TIME-LEAP SECOND

Photo taken on 235960 GMT on June 30, 2015 shows a wall reading "How Long Is Now" in Berlin, Germany. Timekeepers on Tuesday tacked a second to the clock to compensate for a slightly slower Earth rotation. The leap second means the clock will move from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 before it hits midnight of universal time.(Xinhua/Zhang Fan)
