THUS, IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SPRING EQUINOX IS ASTRONOMICALLY DATED AROUND 21 MARCH OF EACH YEAR, WHILE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, THE SAME EQUINOX IS ON OR AROUND 23 SEPTEMBER. SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE EXISTENCE OF AN EQUINOX IN ONE OF THE TWO HEMISPHERES OF THE EARTH, EQUINOX "OPPOSITE" MARKS THE OTHER HEMISPHERE.
