Happy Equinox

Today is the spring equinox marking the end of winter! (Well, maybe more in theory than practicality.) Today the sun moves across the celestial equator and the Earth’s axis tilts toward the sun to warm things up in the northern hemisphere.

Cool Fact: The Mayan city Chichen Itza has been the celebratory site for “The Return of the Sun Serpent” since ancient times on the spring equinox. The sun, when it sets, creates a triangular shadow on the El Castillo pyramid which creates the image of a descending snake that’s said to be the feather serpent god Kukulkan, (Latin Times).
