About Alaska Standard Time (AKST)

Alaska Standard Time (AKST, IANA: America/Anchorage and America/Juneau) is the time zone for most of the State of Alaska, set at UTC-9:00. AKST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966 + Energy Policy Act of 2005; Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT = UTC-8:00) for the remainder of the year. The vast Alaska time zone covers ~3,200 km east-to-west — from Ketchikan to Atka in the Aleutians — and is the only US time zone that spans more than 1,000 miles longitudinally, meaning solar-noon in different Alaska cities varies by over an hour from local clock time. Major population centers: Anchorage (~290,000), Fairbanks (~95,000), Juneau state capital (~32,000). Used in coordination of cruise-ship schedules through the Inside Passage, North Slope oil-pipeline operations, US Air Force JBER and Eielson AFB activities, and Alaska commercial fishing season openings managed by ADF&G.

About Moscow Standard Time (MSK)

Moscow Standard Time (MSK, IANA: Europe/Moscow) is the civil time of European Russia (west of the Ural Mountains) and the Russian capital, set at UTC+3:00 year-round. Russia abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2011 (initially staying permanently on UTC+4 summer time), then in 2014 the Russian Federation Council reverted the country to permanent standard time, with Moscow on UTC+3 year-round, so MSK has been observed without seasonal change since October 2014. Russia spans 11 time zones (UTC+2 Kaliningrad to UTC+12 Kamchatka), of which MSK is the most populous and the reference time for the federal government. MSK serves the European Russia population of ~110 million across the Central Federal District (Moscow oblast, Moscow city, surrounding oblasts), Northwestern Federal District (St. Petersburg + Leningrad oblast), Southern Federal District (Krasnodar, Rostov-na-Donu, Sochi), and Volga Federal District (Nizhny Novgorod). MSK is identical in offset to East Africa Time (EAT), Saudi Arabian Standard Time (AST-SA), and EEST in summer. Major MSK cities: Moscow (12.6M), Saint Petersburg (5.4M), Nizhny Novgorod (1.2M), Kazan (1.3M), Rostov-on-Don (1.1M), Sochi (450K). Affects: MOEX (Moscow Exchange) trading hours, Roscosmos Mission Control operations from Korolev, Bolshoi Theatre performance schedules.
