earth and moon conspire 
to shorten the days

Earth is expected to spin more quickly in the coming weeks, making some of our days unusually short. On those days the position of the moon is expected to affect Earth's rotation so that each day is between 1.3 and 1.51 milliseconds shorter than normal.
