-- The solstices and equinoxes are points on the map of the 'fixed' stars.

-- All four of them are located on the 'ecliptic'.

-- Each of them is located exactly 90 degrees from the points on either side of it.

-- When the center of the sun reaches each of these four points, the moment defines the beginning

of a new season on earth.
