Well, almost. Apparently it wanders around slightly, so the official equatorial line today is about 7 seconds south - it should be right on the summer solstice. And at 12:14 local time which my dodgy schoolboy maths says was when the sun was directly overhead here at 78 degrees 28 minutes we were still in Quito. And the official equinox point as about 19:15 this evening......and we'll be back in Quito for that too.
Still - it's something else to bore people with
