Did anyone see or hear of any real-world issues when the CCSDS CUC 1958 epoch crossed 2³¹ seconds on 19 January 2026?
ESA had already warned about this beforehand.
I’m especially interested in actual operational incidents, anomalies, or post-event reports.

Ah, atomic clocks! Because what the world really needed was a government-sponsored deep dive into how to precisely measure the seconds we waste reading this 🙄. Meanwhile, the .gov reminder was a thrilling plot twist we didn't see coming 🔒✨.

To fix problems caused by Earth's unpredictable rotation speed, scientists are proposing replacing the leap second, the current solution, with a leap hour.
"In other words, ironically, leap seconds were created to fix time discrepancies but ended up creating a “technical nightmare” at odds with modern society’s highly computerized infrastructure [...]."

🌞 July begins with a sense of high summer, its name honoring Julius Caesar, whose calendar reforms shaped the structure of the modern year. The month carries the imprint of history in the way time itself is measured.

🤦♂️ Ah yes, the tale of a hobbyist who thought they could reinvent the wheel... by making it square. 🛑✨ After six years of chasing the dream of submillisecond #timekeeping with the finesse of a drunkard with a sundial, our hero has finally admitted defeat. 📉🚫

Oh look, a clock that spells time with the alphabetical dexterity of a drunk Scrabble player. 🔤⏰ Because, clearly, what we all need is more confusion in telling time, right? 🙃 Bravo, Ryan Bateman, now we can be late in a more literate way! 😂

ATOMIC CLOCKS REACH NEW PRECISION, PROBING THE FABRIC OF REALITY
Scientists use new Ytterbium atomic clocks to measure time with extreme accuracy. This could help find new physics and particles.

These new Ytterbium atomic clocks are much more accurate than older clocks, helping scientists test the laws of the universe.

I wonder what happened at 00:00 on the 30th: suddenly the GPS signal got much better over here (.nl).

I'm going to talk about calendars again.
Web pages and popualr books often state that calendars can be solar or lunar, and lunisolar calendars combine both types. This is exactly backwards. Every polity with any sort of state-like organisation starts off with a lunisolar calendar, which may drop the lunar correlation to become purley solar. (There is only one purely lunar calendar, and it too is descended from a lunisolar ancestor).

Ancient Chinese Art of Time and Scent.
The Xiāng Zhuàn incense seal is a satisfying way of blending fragrance and timekeeping.
China's calm way to track hours.
