On: Cassini's “Grand Finale” Will Be a Blaze of Glory

It's not that different from Europe. You have Western, Central, Eastern Europe times plus Moscow Time. We have Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. Forgot Alaska time zone.

Belarus and Turkey don't change for daylight savings and neither does Arizona here.

Yeah except most of Europe is in the Central time zone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Europe. Sometimes I encounter GMT/BST times but only when looking at UK things. It's all CET/CEST here.

You also forgot Hawaii and possibly Guam -- I can never remember how their time lines up.

The US has four "contiguous US" timezones, and two or three others for peripheral things. Not counting stuff like Zulu or the various zones that dont adjust for DST, so technically are distinct.

Hawaii (UTC-10) and Guam (UTC+10) are separated by the international date line.

Alaska, Guam, and Hawaii usually don't come up in my consersations. Don't the Dutch/UK and other countries still own some islands?

You are correct. I was speaking only to continental Euro/US.
