more precise Solstice and Equinox times
The English speaking world seems to be limited to approximate Solstice and Equinox times, to about the nearest minute. The French offer a more precise, to the second, master table:

Most WP readers do not care about this -- but some might like access to the more accurate times. How can we provide such access in a good way? Would we ever want to replace our template master table with a more-precise master table of times? -71.174.188.32 (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
