8 Central Time = 9 Eastern.

This also works for Europe (Central European Time to East European Time) and Africa.

BUT NOT in Australia.

In Australia, 8 Australian Central Time = 8:30 AET!

The Central Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting six hours from UTC during standard time (UTC-6) and five hours during daylight saving time (UTC-5). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 90th degree meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.

In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called Central Time (CT). Specifically, it is Central Standard Time (CST) when observing standard time (Winter), and Central Daylight Time (CDT) when observing daylight saving (Summer).

The zone is one hour ahead of the Mountain Time Zone and one hour behind the Eastern Time Zone.

In Canada, this time zone includes all of Manitoba, nearly all of Saskatchewan, a slice of Northwestern Ontario, and part of Nunavut (most of Kivalliq Region and part of Qikiqtaaluk Region).

In the United States, the time zone includes the entire area of the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin; and portions of Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.

Most of Mexico belongs to the Central Time Zone, with the six northwestern-most states being the exception.

UTC-6 is also observed in the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In South America, this zone includes the Ecuadorian province of Galápagos. In Oceania, the Chilean Easter Island also belongs to this time zone.


[edit] Central Daylight Time
Daylight Saving Time is in effect in much of the time zone between early April and late October. The modified time is called Central Daylight Time (CDT) and is UTC-5. Saskatchewan, Central America and Galápagos do not observe the change, remaining on Standard Time year round. One reason that Saskatchewan does not take part in the time change is that geographically, most of the province should be placed in the Mountain Time Zone. To avoid this, they have moved onto "permanent" Daylight Saving by being part of the Central Time Zone. The only exception is the region immediately surrounding the Saskatchewan side of the biprovincial city of Lloydminster, which has chosen to use Mountain Time with DST, synchronizing its clocks with those of Alberta.

In some areas, starting in 2007, the local time changes from CST to CDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LDT on the first Sunday in November.:

This site gives detailed lines for time zones. If you live in Indiana it could be different. Very detailed check it out.
