Equinox ~ It's finally spring!!
Friday, 20. March 2009, 05:23:36
An Equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator.
The name is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the Equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long.
In 2009 the Vernal equinox is today, the 20th of March. So today is officially the first day of spring.
I know I will enjoy it. I hope you will too!
