Anywhere on Earth (AoE) is a calendar designation that indicates that a period expires when the date passes everywhere on Earth. It is a practice to help specify easy to understand deadlines such as "March 16, 2004, End of Day, Anywhere on Earth (AoE)" without requiring timezone calculations or Daylight saving time adjustments.https://wiki2.org/en/Anywhere_on_Earth+Newton
For any given date, the latest place on Earth where it would be valid, is on Howland and Baker Islands, in the IDLW time zone (the Western Hemisphere side of the International Date Line). Therefore, the day ends AoE when it ends on Howland Island.
Howland Island and Baker Island are two uninhabited U.S. atolls in the Equatorial Pacific that are located close to one another.https://wiki2.org/en/Howland_and_Baker_Islands+Newton
