9 Beautiful Things to Spend Your Leap Second Looking At

So everyone in the world technically gets one extra second today, Tuesday. Don't ask us to explain the science, Dubai's new space agency or someone can do that, but its true and we're eagerly planning what to do with all that extra time!

Instead of cutting off at 23:59:59 like normally, atomic clocks should read 23:23:60 before switching back to 00:00:00. Since you're probably wanting to plan ahead as well, we put together a list of amazingly beautiful things to look at during the extra second. Regionally everyone is going to be awake anyway due to iftar gatherings so we might as well celebrate!

Sit back and enjoy a nostalgic second, reminiscing.

Look up and contemplate the vastness of the universe for one second.

Glance out at the city around you and revel in all that humanity has accomplished.

Stare out across the abyss and dream of far-off places you dream of visiting.

Watch the trails of light dance across the sky.

Grab some friends, drive out to the desert and spend your extra second staring out across the emptiness.

They may not realize what's happening, but you can spend your extra second staring into your beloved pet's eyes.

Spend your extra second with your children or your young siblings. Remember, they grow-up fast.

What could possibly be more beautiful than to sit and stare into the eyes of the one you truly love?

Second over? Sit back and be thankful for the beautiful extra moment of life you were granted. Breathe out. Breathe in. Now go to bed. It's late and suhoor is just around the corner.
