Someone asked me about this, so thought it might be useful to post here.

To express this as UTC, It's:

postgres=# select '2024-04-08 00:00-12:00' at time zone 'UTC';
      timezone
---------------------
 2024-04-08 12:00:00

Or, time remaining, relative to now:

select '2024-04-08 00:00-12:00' - now();
