It's almost time for the equinox!

[elleng]

It'll be on September 22 at 19:21 UTC. The sun will be exactly above Earth's equator, moving from north to south. Around the time of an equinox, Earth's Northern and Southern Hemispheres are receiving the sun's rays equally. But that doesn't mean that day and night are exactly equal in length. Two factors cause more day than night at an equinox. 🌎☀️

But our journey around the sun just keeps going and going, around and around.
