Witness crossroads of the mind, ground, sky, and time. You and I are here now, in our minds. On the ground, a wooden ramp intersects with beach and sea. In the sky, Moon, Sun and planets seem to have crisscrossing orbits overhead. In time, the September equinox happens at the exact moment when the equators of Earth and Sun cross. In 2010 the equinox was on September 23 at 3:09 universal time. Here, the equinox was on September 22 at 22:09 or 10:09 p.m. CDT. In the west, the panorama shows sunset the evening before the equinox and the tiny full Moon sets the morning after the equinox. In the east, the panorama shows sunrise the morning after the equinox and the tiny full Moon rises the evening before the equinox. Using QuickTime, the controller bar shows the locations. Aligning and pulling our attention opposite the Sun, a full Moon on the equinox happens every 19 years. Also rare on this equinox, Jupiter was exactly opposite the Sun on Sept. 19, adding to the Moon's affect. Jupiter was too close to the Moon to see through Earth's atmosphere in sunrise/sunset photos, but know that it was there. Behind the scene : catching sun and moon for this panorama
