About the panchang in Acton
Acton's clocks change twice a year: EDT (UTC−04:00) from Mar 9 until Nov 2 2025, and EST (UTC−05:00) the rest of the year. Every time on this page is local clock time with the change already applied; on the switch-over days, all timings jump by an hour.
Sunrise in Acton moves from 5:09 AM (Jun 9) to 7:21 AM (Nov 1), and daylight lasts from 9 h 0 min to 15 h 14 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Acton they last about 68 minutes in the shortest days and 114 minutes in the longest: never a fixed 90 minutes, and never fixed clock times.
Dates can differ from India too. Tithis are counted from local sunrise, so in 2025, 10 of the 25 Ekadashis in Acton fall on a different day than in India. That is why a panchang made for India can give the wrong fasting day here.
All calculations use Drik Ganita: Acton's own sunrise and sunset (NOAA solar formulas) and the true positions of the Sun and Moon (Astronomy Engine, validated against NASA JPL), with Lahiri ayanamsa.
