But, in EST and similar time zones, it’s December 11, not 12, right? The headline says 12th; the article says Monday the 11th. And based on a different article I previously read, I set myself a calendar reminder for the 11th, so I’m leaning that way. Maybe they meant the 12th UTC?

Thank you for untangling this. I’m calling up my science loving nieces to watch it for me and report.

Please note it’s Dec 11 EST. You may have seen my old comment that said the title’s 12th EST. So it’s best to follow the direct pages linked in the article for your timezone

You are absolutely correct. I wonder if the title is UTC but the article adapts to the reader. I hope I don’t cause people to miss it
