What's an Equinox you say?
Well Wikipedia describes it saying, "At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: classically, the vernal point and the autumnal point.
I also thought this was interesting:
- In 1931 the September equinox fell on September 24th, and the next time this will occur will be in 2303.
- A modern urban legend claims that on the March equinox day (some may also include the September equinox day rather than leaving it out), one can balance an egg on its point.[9][10][11] However, one can balance an egg on its point any day of the year... if one has enough patience.[12]
What are you going to do to celebrate? Me? I'm heading off on a road trip! I'm off to see the Great Outdoors and to shoot some amazing pictures!
I'll try to post from the road!
If you have any photos or Equinox info you'd like to share I'd love to see or hear about it!
