+> and Solstices module calculates the date and time of an equinox or solstice for a given year. You specify which event (Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox or Winter Solstice) should be investigated, and the year. Then press the <guibutton
+>Compute</guibutton
+> button to obtain the date and time of the event, and the length of the corresponding season, in days. </para>

+>There is a batch mode for this module. To use it, simply generate an input file whose lines each contain a year for which the Equinox and Solstice data will be computed. Then specify the input and output filenames, and press the <guibutton
+>Run</guibutton
+> button to generate the output file. Each line in the output file contains the input year, the date and time of each event, and the length of each season. </para>
