Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Boston sits at 42.36°N, 71.06°W, 14 m above sea level, in the America/New_York time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Boston's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Purnima is the tithi at sunrise (07:09 AM) in Boston and lasts until 12:12 AM, Oct 26. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Revati (pada 4), until 09:52 AM.
Sunrise is at 07:09 AM and sunset at 05:47 PM, local time, for Boston's own coordinates.
04:27 PM to 05:47 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Boston's sunrise and sunset.

Routine work is fine; keep big starts for a better day. Best window: Shubh 01:48 PM to 03:07 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 04:27 PM to 05:47 PM.

A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
