9-8-03 note: The June Solstice on June 20 is at 11:09 PM, which is interesting regarding the 911 and 119 phenomenon. In the 28 years listed on the above page, only the one 11 11 time is given. I also searched for 23 11 which would be 11:11 PM. I did not find that time either.

Perihelion: closest point to the sun in the orbit of a planet or comet

Aphelion: point at which an orbiting planet or satellite is farthest from the sun

Equinoxes: either of two times in a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator; either of the two points at which the sun's path intersects with the celestial equator

Solstices: either of the two times of the year when the sun is farthest from the equator (Astronomy)
