24 Solar Terms
The 24 solar terms (jieqi) of a year: the instant the Sun's apparent ecliptic longitude crosses each multiple of 15 degrees, in UTC, in Beijing time and, if a zone is given, in that zone, each with its uncertainty band in seconds. Instants come from our own table built from JPL's DE440 and DE441 ephemerides. A year in which any term's band holds a midnight, in Beijing or in the zone asked about, is reported as unverified, because that term's civil date is not established.
