Autumn equinox facts
On the equinox, the Sun rises almost due east and sets almost due west everywhere on Earth. In the Southern Hemisphere, the same date marks the start of spring.
Meteorological autumn begins on September 1. The full moon closest to the equinox is called the Harvest Moon, because its light once let farmers work late into the evening.
