Why is it after hours today in America?

At the time of posting its Friday morning at 11:00. I just got a coffee and took an edible and logged into my brokerage to buy some shares of great companies at a fair price and I saw that the market was closed. What’s the meaning behind the market being closed this early on a Friday? Sorry, to all the non-Americans out there who are tired of hearing about America on American social media platforms.
