The baseline of longitude on Equinox (0°). All longitudinal measurement west of the Prime Meridian is designated as “west longitude” and all measurements to the east of the Prime Meridian are designated as “east longitude”. The historical assignment of the baseline was establish by the Second Planetary Survey (SPS) team. The selection was arbitrary and coincided with a north-south baseline that intersected the base camp on Equinox.

- The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude that that spans half of Earth from the North to South Poles. Its longitude is defined as 0°. The meridian passes through the Royal Observatory and the Headquarters of the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations, both situated in Greenwich, London. In fact, Director Andos' office was right on top of the meridian, her desk and chair postioned so that she could sit with her legs straddling it. (DTI novel: Watching the Clock)
- A prime meridian, based at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in London, was established by Sir George Airy in 1851. The final meridian was established as an imaginary line from the north pole to the south pole passing through the Airy transit circle. 0° 00′ 00.00″ More information on the Wikipedia page [1].
