The Southern Hemisphere Spring Equinox
occurs on September 23 at 04:03 pm. Technically this is one
of the two points on the celestial sphere where the
celestial equator intersects the ecliptic, but simply, it is
when the Sun returns from the Northern Hemisphere back into
the Southern Hemisphere.
Brian Carter, Senior Astronomer
at Carter Observatory says, “at this time of year, the
length of the day is increasing by about 3 minutes a day,
which is the greatest increase in the
year.”
