TimeBox has been designed primarily for the precise dating of astronomical phenomena, but it can also be used for other applications requiring precise dating with an absolute time reference (UTC). Version II is much less expensive than the first version, and features easy-to-use software that constantly readjusts the time on your PC.

The time scale chosen is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the main time standard regulating clocks and time (McCarthy et al. 2009). Stellar occultation is a tried-and-tested method used to determine the size, shape and position of asteroids, as well as their topology and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esatellite orbits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Trahan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eet al.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2014).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"s2_12\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eThe TimeBox II is designed to enable accurate dating of astronomical phenomena.
