Sunset: Planet Earth
Today marks the equinox, when the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading north. This astronomical event signifies the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Equinox means 'equal night,' as Earth dwellers experience nearly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. From the north, days will lengthen as summer approaches.
