Equilux

I had never heard the term equilux until I read it online today, courtesy of Alex Beresford, whose discussion with Piers Morgan caused the latter to storm off live TV like an infant. Equilux means a date on which day and night are the same length. A beautiful milestone in the year.

The Portuguese text written on this monument on Parker’s Piece strengthens my resolve. These pillars were unveiled in 2018 to commemorate the football rules written down by Cambridge students once upon a time, that have gone on to shape the modern game.
