See ya summer, today is officially the first day of fall. While the sun isn’t out in the NYC area today, it’s still a perfect day to be outside. The autumnal equinox is a time when the leaves truly start to change and we get greeted with cooler mornings. There is a science behind the season change. Check out what livescience.com says:
“The equinox gets its name from an astronomical curiosity. During both the spring and fallequinoxes, the sun transits directly over the Earth’s equator. Day and night are approximately equal length on equinoxes, which is how the days got their name — it means “equal night” in Latin.”
The official equinox occurred this morning at 6:49 (EST)
Do you have plans to celebrate the first day of autumn? Enjoy!!!
