But on earth, where today is the closest Sunday to the local equinox, many cultures in the Northern hemisphere put their clocks forward an hour in the early hours of this morning. (Or back in the Southern hemisphere.) The Chimaera used to have a number of emergency use combined clocks and lights, not dependent on the ships main power supply, designed to provide light and a time-check if combat damage were to disrupt the ship's main lighting systems.
