The sky on
your birthday.
The Equal Night
On the equinox, the Sun crosses the celestial equator, heading south for the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere. This means 'equal night,' with roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness across Earth. For those in the northern hemisphere, the days will continue to shorten as winter approaches. The Sun's path in the sky changes subtly with the seasons.
