> five hours from 2024:

Four. I spent about an hour in the wikkypeeja hole and then decided Wikipedia is useless and started tearing through some data files that I had laying around from a GIS project from 2015.

  Midnight passed on the east coast. New year! It's nearly 2:00 there now.
  
  Although most of the Aleutian Islands are not populated, there are 95 people living on Atka Island: 52°08′17″N 174°26′43″W. Being the westernmost population in the US (UTC-10), they're still five hours from 2024: http://new.earthtools.org/timezone/52.138056/-174.445278 . The population of the village of Atka is 53 as of the 2020 census: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atka,_Alaska .
  
  The 47,329 citizens the Northern Mariana Islands and the 168,801 citizens of Guam are US citizens, though. They're all UTC+10, which is, per the Census department's ZCTA data, the easternmost US timezone. The absolute easternmost zip code is in Tinian (96952, at 15°0′0″N, 145°38′0″E), which also has the distinction of being the place where Little Boy was loaded into the Enola Gay. Apparently, various companies keep trying to build hotels and casinos but it falls through every time, due to financial troubles, allegations of money laundering, etc.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinian (photos are from there). The air and naval bases remain.
  
  At any rate, it's now late afternoon there: 16:41.

  6. Tinian
    
    Tinian () is one of the three principal islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Together with uninhabited neighboring Aguiguan, it forms Tinian Municipality, one of the four constituent municipalities of the Northern Marianas. Tinian's largest village is San Jose. Tinian is just south of the most inhabited island Saipan, but north of the populated Rota to the south. The island is home to many WW2 historical sites, cattle ranches, and beaches. There was a 5-star casino that operated from 1998 to 2016; remaining are other hotels/resorts and a golf course. The main access to Saipan is by a short airplane ride from the international airport, or by a charter boat. Tinian is a part of the United States, and is also a part of the CNMI. Along with Guam, they are the westernmost islands of the US in the Pacific (technically very far east). History First settlers The Mariana Islands, of which Tinian is one, were the first islands settled by humans...

  2. Midway Atoll
    
    Midway Atoll (colloquial: Midway Islands; Hawaiian: Kuaihelani, lit. 'the backbone of heaven'; Pihemanu, 'the loud din of birds') is a 2.4 sq mi (6.2 km2) atoll in the North Pacific Ocean. Midway Atoll is an insular area of the United States and is an unorganized and unincorporated territory. The largest island is Sand Island, which has housing and an airstrip. Immediately to the east of Sand Island across the narrow Brooks Channel is Eastern Island, which is uninhabited and no longer has any facilities. Forming a rough, incomplete circle around the two main islands and creating Midway Lagoon is Spit Island, a narrow reef.Roughly equidistant between North America and Asia, Midway is the only island in the Hawaiian Archipelago that is not part of the state of Hawaii. Unlike the other Hawaiian islands, Midway observes Samoa Time (UTC−11:00, i.e., eleven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time), which is one hour behind the time in the Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone used in Hawaii. For statistical purposes, Midway is grouped as one...
