As much as I dislike doing someone's homework for them... *shudder* I can't help being anal about calendrical calculations...

There are 86400 seconds in a day, and a fractional number of days in a year (365.242199). You'd be off by more than 2 months for someone my age. Probably not a huge deal for something like this, but you'd be really late to the eclipse...
