Equinox Sunrise

The sun rises due east tomorrow and sets due west for almost everywhere in the world.
The equinox is at 2:03 pm AEST on 23/9/06.

On the equinox day, the Sun rises in the morning, for every place on Earth (except at the poles), exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west in the evening. (At high latitudes this may be shifted due to atmospheric refraction.)
