Description
What if you could tune in to the exact time over the radio? At WWV, a radio station in Colorado run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), cesium atomic clocks keep time with extraordinary precision, broadcasting time signals that help people and technologies around the country stay in sync. Emma Gometz takes us inside the station to explore how time goes from inside atomic clocks to across the airwaves.
The easiest way to tune in is to call (303) 499-7111, but you can also pick up the broadcast on several radio frequencies.
