About this clock
New Albany does not keep Indiana's usual time
Most of Indiana is on Eastern Standard Time, but New Albany keeps Eastern Standard Time — the same time as the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
New Albany is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
New Albany sits at 38.31°N, 85.82°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in New Albany.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Eastern Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over New Albany it is highest at 12:27 pm today — 27 minutes after clock noon.
At 85.8°W, New Albany sits 43 minutes of solar time west of Eastern Standard Time’s 75° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 43 minutes after noon.
