The moment of the equinox comes at the same time for everyone in the world, but it just depends on your clocks. For UTC (Greenwich Meridian Time), this happens on September 23.
We are a North American publication, so for continental U.S. and Canada, we mark the equinox on September 22. The exact time depends on your time zone (9:54 p.m. EDT, 8:54 p.m. CDT, 7:54 p.m. MDT and 6:54 p.m. PDT.)
The equinox itself is not technically a 鈥渄ay鈥 such as the first full day of fall. It’s an astronomical moment in time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator as it moves from north to south. In any case, happy equinox to all!
