Time flows faster at the altitude where GPS satellites are than it does for clocks on Earth 's surface.
The deeper into a gravitational well you go, the slower time moves, and we've reached the point where we can detect differences in altitude of a single millimeter.
It would be easy to set up an equivalent system to track time on the Moon , but that would inevitably see clocks run out of sync with those on Earth .
The International Astronomical Union has a resolution that calls for a "Lunar Celestial Reference System ".
