Spring Equinox 2019 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 5:58 PM today, Wednesday, March 20

Do you know what today is? We hardly notice a change in seasons here in sunny South Florida.

Happy Spring Equinox 2019 to my fellow residents of the Northern Hemisphere. We should enjoy roughly an even 12 hours of daytime/nighttime today. And a very Happy Fall Equinox to any friends who reside in or are currently visiting in the Southern Hemisphere.

Did you know that the Spring Equinox always falls on March 19, 20 or 21?

And, According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this is the day the sun crosses south to north over the celestial equator which is the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator.

If you were standing on the equator, the sun would pass directly overhead as it makes its way north.

Also, as noted in the Farmer’s Almanac, tonight is a rare full moon marking the Spring Equinox.

The last time the Full Worm Moon happened less than one day of the March equinox was 19 years ago, in 2000, and the next time will be 11 years from now, in 2030.

But that’s not all: March’s full Moon will also be a supermoon, meaning that it will be slightly larger than most of the other full Moons this year.

What an extra-bright way to greet spring!!

So don’t forget – 5:58 PM, today, Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Don’t forget. Don’t miss it!
