Solstices occur twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most oriented toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost and southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, its apparent movement north or south comes to a standstill.

So according to this chart
on the 22nd of September around 3:44pm its the moment when the Sun is positioned directly over the Earth's equator, and the apparent position of the Sun at that moment.
