Autumnal Equinox



Salinas Puerto Rico

September 22nd is known as the Vernal or Autumnal Equinox. This is the point at which the length of day and night are nearly the same. The sun is now passing its celestial equator on its march south. This spells the onset of winter as the suns rays do not strike the northern hemisphere at such a direct angle. In Short Autum is here!
