September Equinox

On Sunday, September 22 at 8:44 a.m. EDT, 5:44 a.m. PDT, or 12:44 UT, the
sun's apparent motion along the ecliptic will carry it across the celestial equator traveling southward, marking the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn there. On the equinoxes in March and September, day and night are of equal length and the sun rises due east and sets due west (yellow arc).
