Re: Universal Time

Stacey,
    Universal Time (the time at O degrees longitude) is basically the same
thing as Greenwich Mean Time (i.e., London time).  And being a 24-hour based
time, there is therefore no need for the designations A.M. and P.M.
    To convert UT to EST, just subtract 5 hours.  23:00 UT would therefore
be 18:00 EST (i.e. 6:00 P.M.).   I'm just glad I don't live near the
International Date Line and have the additional confusion of what day it is
in other parts of the world.
