Spring Equinox

This year, March 20 marks the date of the spring equinox for everyone living in the Northern Hemisphere. On this date, the length of day and night are nearly the same. From this date until the summer solstice in June, there will be more hours of daylight than night.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the situation is reversed. March 20 is the first day of fall, and the days will get progressively shorter until the first day of winter, in June.

It's often said that the only time you can balance a raw egg on end is on the spring and autumn equinoxes. This is absolutely not true! It takes a little skill and lots of patience to balance an egg on end, but it really can be done any day of the year.
