Leap seconds in Julia
A new minor version of this package will be published everytime a new leap second is issued be the IERS and dependent packages will need to be updated!
pkg> add LeapSecondsThe package exports the two functions offset_tai_utc and offset_utc_tai
which return the difference between International Atomic Time (TAI) and
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or vice versa for a given date.
For dates after 1972-01-01, this is the number of leap seconds.
