VERNAL EQUINOX Tomorrow Followed by LUNAR ECLIPSE on 22nd March

Tomorrow we have Vernal Equinox as we posted earlier this month.
The Vernal (Spring) Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is the Autumnal (Fall) Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

Equinox and solstice illustrationEquinoxes and solstices happen twice a year.

Not Entirely Equal Day & Night

On the equinoxes the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal – but not quite.
The March equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and vice versa in September.

  • 20-21st March:--- VERNAL EQUINOX
  • 22nd March:--LUNAR ECLIPSE
