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:

  • November 8 to March 13: 8 AM GMT = 3 AM EST
  • March 14 to November 6: 8 AM GMT = 4 AM EST
  • November 7 to November 7: 8 AM GMT = 3 AM EST

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