My equinox and solstice page should answer some questions. http://sofajpl.com/solstice/ It says the equinox occurred at March 23 01:03:42 UTC. The JPL Horizons online calculator differs by one second of time. I can't think of a reason anyone would need times accurate to even one minute. Nevertheless, the phenomena are precisely defined and predictable. -- Paul Hirose sofajpl.com
