    What is UTC?
    Coordinated Universal Time, a more precise statement of UT or Universal Time, still commonly referred to as Greenwich Mean Time.

    "This time scale is kept by time laboratories around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory, and is determined using highly precise atomic clocks. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures makes use of data from the timing laboratories to provide the international standard UTC which is accurate to approximately a nanosecond (billionth of a second) per day. The length of a UTC second is defined in terms of an atomic transition of the element cesium under specific conditions, and is not directly related to any astronomical phenomena." - http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/UT.html
