What time is the equinox?

I've found several different answers, ranging from 06:31 to 17:35


The date & time of the seasons since 1AD to 2099 can be found at the
website http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html

It says 2010 20 Mar 17:32

Can also be used for a Day / Night World Map http://www.timeanddate.com

Someone's evidently put a lot of work into that. I had a look at
1750-1799, and was quite impressed to see that it takes account of
Britain's switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752.
