International Time



Time and Date

As a result of trying to figure out the time difference between Maine and Baghdad, I found this nifty site that lets you build your own set of online “clocks”. The Time and Date site has a multitude of features including world clocks and calendars. You can build your own set of clocks if you have friends elsewhere in the world and you want to know if they are “up” or sleeping. My own constructed clock contains info for the west coast, east coast, Sweden and Tehran.

The true international date and time site is Greenwich Mean Time.

There is also the United States Naval Time Service Department (division of the US Naval Observatory):

The Official Source of Time for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Global Positioning System (GPS), and a Standard of Time for the United States.

And then of course there is Time.gov.
