the sun - How to interprete function value of get_sun in astropy

As I know, spring equinox of 2016 is on 2016/3/20 4:30 GMT.



I execute following statements in python:



```



from astropy.time import Time



from astropy.coordinates import get_sun



t=Time('2016-03-20 4:30:00')



s=get_sun(t)



```



I expect to get s.ra.degree and s.dec.degree very close to 0.



But I got s.ra.degree=0.7052336 and s.dec.degree=0.30536325.



Why?



Hope some one can help me. Thanks.
