Why new Date() with `T17:00:00.000Z` is returning the next date?

When I try this new Date('2015-01-25T17:00:00.000Z') it will returning the next date Jan 26 2015 00:00:00, this is an expected behaviour for me, but why it is like this?

Is there any explanation from this js behaviour when using TZ with value of OO:OO:OO.

The Z at the very end means "Zulu Time" which is another word for UTC.

The result you see in your console is the time in your current timezone. You are probably 5 hours ahead of UTC.

If you remove the Z, the output you get is the same as what you put in, because Javascript will use local time by default.
