New Year's Eve 2018 reaches me on Jeju Island, South Korea, in the East China Sea. While I had spent New Year's Eve 2017 in Galapagos Islands, in the Pacific. We can celebrate 24 New Year's Eves in a single year, moving to the West – for example in an orbital spacecraft - (in the reverse sense of Earth's rotation around its axis) at a faster angular speed than Earth's rotation, jumping from one time-zone to another, and starting from the International Date Line. { In this paper we are referring to the solar day, hence to the angular speed of Earth’s rotation on its axis with respect to the Sun. } But a person being on the Geographical (Terrestrial) North Pole or on the Geographical (Terrestrial) South Pole celebrates the New Year Ever for 24 hours continuously.
