SPRING EQUINOX

The Southern Hemisphere's spring equinox, also known as the September equinox or vernal equinox in the Southern Hemisphere, marks the start of spring for locations south of the equator. It occurs on or around September 22 or 23 each year, when the Sun is directly above Earth's equator and both hemispheres receive equal amounts of sunlight - hence on that day, there are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime.

FULL WORM MOON

March 20, marks the the equinox, when the sun passes over Earth's equator (from our perspective on the planet) and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. That leads to longer days (and the start of Spring!) in the north and shorter days (and Autumn) in the south.

The day also marks the full moon of March, called the full Worm Moon. The full moon occurred at 9:43 p.m. EDT (0143 March 21 GMT) and will be the third and final "supermoon" of 2019, according to NASA. The space agency describes supermoons as a full moon that occurs near perigee, the closest point to Earth in the moon's monthly orbit.

Happy Autumn (or Spring!) to you wherever you are in the world.
