How these dates are calculated
Station times are geocentric apparent longitudes in the tropical zodiac, computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Moshier ephemeris) and stored in the site sky catalog. No dates on this page are hand-entered or estimated beyond that file.
For ephemeris choices, ayanamsa handling on Vedic pages, and how live daily sky differs from this precomputed list, read the methodology.
