		Note that LMT is not, in general, the same as the the civil time (standard time) at a location since the civil time is the same for all locations in that zone and is the LMT for the zone's standard longitude.
		Sidereal time is time kept relative to the stars instead of relative to the sun.
		Greenwich Sidereal Time (GST or ST0) is the local sidereal time on the Greenwich meridian.

		Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is mean solar time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, London, England, the United Kingdom, which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude.
		Noon Greenwich Mean Time is not necessarily the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich) because of Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit and its axial tilt.
		GMT was adopted on the Isle of Man in 1883, Jersey in 1898 and Guernsey in 1913.

	Local mean time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Local mean time is a form of solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time.
		Local mean time was used from the early nineteenth century, when local solar time or sundial time was last used, until standard time was adopted on various dates in the several countries.
		Standard time means that the same time is used throughout some region — usually, it was either offset from Greenwich Mean Time or was the local mean time of the capital of the region.

		By convention, the reference points for Greenwich Sidereal Time are the Greenwich Meridian and the vernal equinox (the intersection of the planes of the earth's equator and the earth's orbit, the ecliptic).
		Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST) is the hour angle of the average position of the vernal equinox, neglecting short term motions of the equinox due to nutation.
		Greenwich Apparent Sidereal Time (GAST) is Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST) corrected for the shift in the position of the vernal equinox due to nutation.

		Greenwich mean time or Greenwich meridian time (GMT), the former name for mean solar time at the original site of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, which is located on the prime meridian.
		In 1925 the numbering system was changed to make GMT equivalent to civil time at the prime meridian, and in 1928 the International Astronomical Union changed the designation of the standard time of the prime meridian to universal time (UT), which is now in general use.
		It's about time for a change to our clocks After the changing of the clocks at the weekend, a debate has continued to rage about whether we should stick with Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time or be one hour ahead of current arrangements all year round.

		Greenwich Observatory was well respected for it's accurate timekeeping and was charged with establishing a standard time for the UK - they developed Greenwich Mean Time.

		GMT is the mean solar time at the prime meridian (the line of longitude where east meets west), which runs through Greenwich in the UK.
		GMT is measured from midnight, so the new day begins at 0000 GMT and the time six hours later would be expressed as 0600 GMT.
		GMT is not quite in line with this atomic time, because the scientific definition of a single second has changed.

		She was born very close to the time zone of 75 degrees, but she was born 20 arc minutes to the west of this zonem (75W20), so her sun rose a little later than shown for the time zone.
		The local mean time is similar to the UT, except that the local mean time is computed from the exact longitude of birth and not the time zone.

		Greenwich Mean Time ------------------- o Greenwich Mean Time is a time scale based on the apparent motion of the "mean" sun with respect to the meridian through the Old Greenwich Observatory (zero degrees longitude).
		The "mean" sun is used because time based on the actual or true apparent motion of the sun doesn't "tick" at a constant rate.
		Some in the astronomical community still use the pre-1925 definition of GMT in the analysis of old data although it is recommended that the term Greenwich Mean Astronomical Time now be used to refer to time reckoned from noon.) o Mean time on selected meridians 15 degrees apart is generally known as standard time.
