Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • October 14 to October 31: 12 AM GMT = 8 PM EST the previous day
  • November 1 to March 13: 12 AM GMT = 7 PM EST the previous day
  • March 14 to October 13: 12 AM GMT = 8 PM EST the previous day

Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year.
