Why scientists say we need to send clocks to the moon — soon

$$
\frac{\Delta t_M}{\Delta t_E} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \frac{2GM_M}{r_M c^2}}{1 - \frac{2GM_E}{r_E c^2}}}
$$

where
- $$M_E, r_E$$: mass and radius of Earth
- $$M_M, r_M$$: mass and radius of the Moon
- G: gravitational constant
- $$c$$: speed of light
- $$\Delta t$$: proper time interval far from the massive body
- $$ \Delta t'$$: time interval closer to the massive body

```

This gives 57 microseconds.
