I originally added this as a comment to #29339 but it deserves its own issue.
The parser in Dates is limited to parsing milliseconds even though Time and data types in other packages, e.g. AstroTime.jl, support higher precision.
julia> t = Time(12, 12, 12, 123, 456, 789)
12:12:12.123456789
julia> time_str = string(t)
"12:12:12.123456789"
julia> Time(time_str)
ERROR: InexactError: convert(Dates.Decimal3, 123456789)
