Equinox: Same Moment Round the World

Fleeting balance. Fleeing balance. Yet one moment all are equal under the Sun and below the Moon. Equinox.

Near Three Corners: Place of convergence of the imaginary borderlines of Oregon California Nevada  --  Northern Great Basin, part of the traditional country of the Northern Paiute.

During the equinox, the Sun crosses what we call the “celestial equator”—an imaginary extension of Earth’s equator line into space. The equinox occurs precisely when the Sun’s center passes through this line.
