Eternal Equinox
Tara C
"Eternal" means without ending, endless, lasting forever, always existing.
"Equinox" is the more interesting word in the name. An equinox is an astronomical event, when the sun is at zenith over the Equator. This event happens twice a year, around March 20th, and September 22nd. Equinox is derived from the Latin aequus-equal, and nox-night.
At an equinox, the sun is at one of the two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: classically, the vernal point and the autumnal point
The equinoxes are the only times when the solar terminator is perpendicular to the Equator. As a result, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are illuminated equally.

What is a solstice?
The sun is highest or lowest in the sky
Thanks Frank!
It's like being on the equator - gets dark at 6pm and light at 6 am.
