Today is Fall Equinox

The sun rises directly east over the US Capitol dome just a few days before the 2022 fall equinox.

Twice a year, the sun doesn’t play favorites.

Everyone on Earth is seemingly on equal status – at least when it comes to the amount of light and dark that they get.

On Sunday, we enter our second and final equinox of 2024.

If you reside in the Northern Hemisphere, you know it as the fall equinox (or autumnal equinox).

For people south of the equator, this equinox actually heralds the coming of spring.

Technically, your location on the globe also determines the local time and even the date you experience the fall equinox.

The vast bulk of the world’s population will mark it this year on Sunday, September 22.
