Last Day of Summer: What Time is Autumnal Equinox on September 21, 2012

#ad▼

At the Autumnal Equinox (Fall Equinox) and Vernal Equinox (Spring Equinox), duration for day and night optimally the same length – 12 hours.

The Autumnal Equinox is at 1449 UTC all over the world. In Chicago the Autumnal Equinox is 9:49 a.m.

The Autumnal Equinox, which happens either September 22, 23, or 24 every year, occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator — heading south for the Winter.

See this Google Map graph (SunCalc.net) of the sunrise and sunset position, which is practically due East and due West, respectively.

Today could be considered one the worst days of the year for driving facing sunrise or sunset. The sun would be right at the end of the road on east-west routes.
