Greetings-- If there are any IDL users that are concerned about precision timing, there will be a leap second applied at the June 30 - July 1st boundary.

If you use my TAI_UTC.PRO procedure to correct for leap seconds, there is an update which handles the new leap second. Or, if you use a leap second table, then be sure to update it from its source.

Enjoy your extra 1 second of sleep!
