The fireworks over Sydney Harbor in Austrailia kick off the New Year's celebration. Sydney is 12 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time.

Fireworks flash over Sydney Harbour during New Year celebrations, Friday, Jan. 1, 2010. The annual fireworks extravaganza over the city's landmark harbor bridge and opera house are the centerpiece of Australia's celebrations, and generate some of the most striking images from a night of revelry across the globe.
