ascending node In the orbit of a solar-system body, the point where the body crosses the ecliptic from south to north: for a star, out of the plane of the sky toward the observer. Sun orbital event

dynamical equinox The ascending node of the Earth's mean orbit on the Earth's equator; i.e., the intersection of the ecliptic with the celestial equator at which the Sun's declination is changing from south to north. equinox ascending node
