Autumnal equinox 2022: Twilight and myths of the equinox

When is the first day of fall in 2022? 

A carefully worded answer is that on Thursday (Sept. 22) at 9:04 p.m. EDT (0104 GMT on Sept. 23), autumn begins astronomically in the Northern Hemisphere, with spring kicking off in the Southern Hemisphere. At that moment, the sun would be shining directly overhead as seen from a point in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, 300 miles (500 km) west of Yaren, a district of the Pacific nation of Nauru.
