<div id="ygrps-yiv-1020736092">But seriously, it seems that the local time there is GMT+1200. The <br/>
Universal time is for the dark sector, the place where all the <br/>
stargazers (i.e. astronomers) work, and they use UT for their <br/>
observations (as they probably would do in any observatory).<br/>

PS They probably use GMT+1200 because they want to be in the same <br/>
time zone as New Zealand. Most communication goes through there.<br/>

&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt;   On GEEBE we we pleased to experience passing time zone borders <br/>
by <br/>
&gt; foot but never saw any time zone signs.<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt;   Searching the net I also found one time zone sign:<br/>
