Equinox full moon in Virgo - News Summed Up

Equinox full moon in Virgo


This is the exact moment of the southern hemisphere autumnal equinox, with day and night being roughly equal in length wherever you live on Earth. Tomorrow is a busy day for matters astronomical since in addition to the equinox there's also a full moon. To my mind, there are few more beautiful sights in the heavens than seeing a bright full moon low in the sky. The moon is in the constellation Virgo, and roughly five degrees (that's the angle subtended by your three middle fingers held at arm's length) to the left of the moon you should be able to pick out the star Porrima, named for the Roman goddess of prophecy. Along with Auva, Heze and the vivid blue-white star Spica, Porrima makes up the body of the constellation.
