Description
Taken in Petrifying Springs park in Kenosha county, Wisconsin, USA.
What is an equinox? The earliest humans spent more time outside than we do. They used the sky as both a clock and a calendar. They could easily see that the suns path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shift in a regular way throughout the year.
Our ancestors built the first observatories to track the suns progress. One example is at Machu Picchu in Peru, where the Intihuatana stone, shown above, has been shown to be a precise indicator of the date of the two equinoxes and other significant celestial periods. The word Intihuatana, by the way, literally means for tying the sun.
Today, we know each equinox and solstice is an astronomical event, caused by Earths tilt on its axis and ceaseless orbit around the sun.
Because Earth doesnt orbit upright, but is instead tilted on its axis by 23-and-a-half degrees, Earths Northern and Southern Hemispheres trade places throughout the year in receiving the suns light and warmth most directly.
