Description

Autumn Equinox 0° Event

2021 Autumnal Equinox | March Equinox

An Equinox is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, once in spring and once in autumn, each year when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun.
During Equinoxes the tilt of the Earth (with respect to the Sun) is 0° and because of its duration of the day and the night are almost equal on Equinox day i.e. 12 hours.

Equinoxes occur on 20th or 21st March and 22nd or 23rd September each year and both days have equal length of the day and the night.
During March it is autumn in the Southern hemisphere and March Equinox is called Autumnal Equinox.
This year Autumnal Equinox is on Saturday, March 20, 2021 at 08:36 PM AEDT

To avoid any confusion Equinoxes are preferably referred to as March Equinox and September Equinox.

This event is open to everyone, even if you are in the Northern Hemisphere.
Simply add a photo of fallen autumn leaves or fresh spring growth to your log.

We have a lovely Japanese Maple in our front garden which turns the most beautiful autumnal colours each year. It has only just started so I hope this photo is sufficient.

Currently we are staying with family in the Adelaide Hills where the autumn leave on the acers, maples and ornamental pears are brilliant pinks, reds and purples. A lovely time of the year here.

Thanks for this event n0w0rries. Photo added

Good evening n0w0rries
And thanks for inviting us to your Equinox event.
As we travelled via Mt Evelyn, Cockatoo, Cardinia, Lysterfield and Whittlesea today we noticed lots of trees starting to show a bit of colour but not real bright yet.
Hope this photo suffices.
It has been a most enjoyable day.

Living in the Blue Mountains NSW we have had constant rain all day. I ventured out in the rain before dark scouring the street for any signs of Autumn. Even the usual tree at the bottom of the street that is very photogenic in Autumn, still has green leaves!
So I have resorted to looking through some of my old photos, and found an Autumn leaf I took years ago. It was floating in Wentworth Falls Lake.
Thanks for the Autumn Equinox Event.

Thanks for the virtual event.
More like a Winter's day with the rain and cold temperature.

Living in the tropics haven't seen Autumn for a long while so it is a treat to see Autumn arriving in NZ.

We don't have a lot of trees in the area that put on a particularly colourful display, and today in Sydney it is way to wet to consider going out looking for some. The few I do get tend to wait a bit longer to get colour and drop. So I pinched one off the web. Thanks n0w0rries.
