> Daylight Saving Time Begins 

> For jurisdictions that adopt Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks should be set
> forward by one hour at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 9. For stargazers,
> the time change, and the fact that sunsets occur 1 minute later each day near
> the March equinox, will mean that dark-sky observing cannot commence until
> much later in the evening - possibly after the bedtime of junior astronomers.
> The difference from local time to Greenwich Mean Time (UT) and the
> astronomers' Universal Time (UT) decreases by one hour when DST is in effect.
> Daylight Saving Time will end on November 2, 2025.
