This is the basis for the 24-hour time zone system we know today.</p><p>At the time, <a href="/time/zones/gmt">Greenwich Mean Time</a> (GMT) was chosen as the world’s time standard. The reference line or starting point, the Prime Meridian, was determined to be the transit circle at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, <a href="/worldclock/uk/london">London</a>. The transit circle is a part of the telescope's mechanics and it is still cited as the prime meridian's original reference (0° <a href="/geography/longitude-latitude.html">longitude</a>).</p><h2>From GMT to UTC</h2><p>In 1960, the International Radio Consultative Committee formalized the concept of UTC, and it was put into practice the year after. The name Coordinated Universal Time was officially adopted in 1967.</p><p class=large-link><a href="/time/utc-abbreviation.html">Why UTC – not CUT or TUC?</a></p><p>UTC was adjusted several times until 1972, when <a href="/time/leapseconds.html">leap seconds</a> were introduced to keep UTC in line with the Earth's rotation, which is not entirely even, and less exact than atomic clocks.</p><h2>GMT is now a Time Zone</h2><p>Until 1972, Greenwich Mean Time (also known as <a href="/time/zones/z">Zulu time</a>) was the same as Universal Time (UT).</p><p class=large-link><a href="/time/gmt-utc-time.html">The difference between GMT and UTC</a></p><p>Since then, GMT is no longer a time standard.
