2012-06-30 23:59:60 is a perfect valid time and has 61 seconds in this hour. Sharing here with the community so that we do not build systems that hardcore fixed 60 seconds, but should depend on UTC time.<p>International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service decides when to insert additional second and publishes about six months in advance.
