With the enormous improvement in the accuracies of clocks and the potential use of these clocks for tests of general relativity theory, relativity physics is probably at peak interest with the physics community. It is shown that the use of very accurate clocks around the Moon makes possible the testing for dragging of inertial frames, the oscillations of the sun, and gravitational radiation predicted in relativity.
