  39 # (which measures the true angular orientation of the earth in space)

  46 # There were no leap seconds before 1972, because the official mechanism
  47 # accounting for the discrepancy between atomic time and the earth's rotation
  48 # did not exist.  The first ("1 Jan 1972") data line in leap-seconds.list
  49 # does not denote a leap second; it denotes the start of the current definition
  50 # of UTC.
  51 
  52 # The correction (+ or -) is made at the given time, so lines
  53 # will typically look like:
  54 #       Leap    YEAR    MON     DAY     23:59:60        +       R/S
  55 # or
  56 #       Leap    YEAR    MON     DAY     23:59:59        -       R/S
  57 
  58 # If the leap second is Rolling (R) the given time is local time (unused here).
