Southern Hemisphere

Winter officially arrives this Wednesday at 4:44 a.m. Central Time. The official term for winter arriving is the Winter Solstice.

For years I have heard that during the Autumnal and Vernal Equinox you can actually balance an egg on a table since the Earth will be balanced equally between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Well, the Autumnal Equinox officially took place at 9:21 a...

Today marks the first day of Spring or the day that the Vernal Equinox occurs. After 96  long winter days, I think everyone is ready for Spring to arrive.

The long, crazy summer of 2013 will finally end Sunday at 3:44 CDT when the Autumnal Equinox arrives. So basically there are only two days when the sun crosses the Equator. One is the Vernal Equinox or first day of spring and the other is the Autumnal Equinox marking the first day of autumn.

The long, hot summer of 2012 will finally end tomorrow at 9:49am CDT when the Autumnal Equinox arrives.   So basically there are only two days when the sun crosses the equator.  One is the Vernal Equinox or first day of spring and the other is the Autumnal Equinox marking the first day of autumn.
