`Timekeepers add leap seconds every now and then to keep the sun at its highest at noon, at least during standard time. This is the first leap second since January 2009 and the 25th overall. Gambis said the next one probably won't be needed until 2015 or 2016.
Earlier this year, timekeepers from across the world discussed whether to eliminate leap seconds. They decided they needed more time to think about it and will revisit it in 2015.
So tonight, Chester said, "you get an extra second; don't waste it."
Wait for it: Earth adds leap second tonight
