OToharo!

Anyone of you, do you know how to determine the exact moment of the shift of the Solstices? Is that time for Greenwich time? How is it determined? Is it slown in the Ephemerus? To be more exact, can you tell me the exact moment PST of the winter Solstice, 2005?

Hi Finality

Well according to the US Navel Observertry here are the times for the xext 6 equinox's in eastern time. I guess you have to add a couple of hours or something.

Autumnal Equinox Sep 22 2004 12:30 PM EDT
Winter Solstice Dec 21 2004 7:42 AM EST

Vernal Equinox Mar 20 2005 7:34 AM EST
Summer Solstice Jun 21 2005 2:46 AM EDT
Autumnal Equinox Sep 22 2005 6:23 PM EDT
Winter Solstice Dec 21 2005 1:35 PM EST

Hope this helps

Rob

In addition to what mr rob said , if you watch the new the day of they usually announce what time the solstice/equinox will be.

Rob, thanks! Just exactly what I was asking for. That means 4:35 pm in the midst of winter, so the sun would be setting. We will have 72hours sunset! Boy! What joy!
