Spring Equinox 2025
Hey hey hey ... it's the spring equinox.
The spring equinox, aka the vernal equinox and sometimes the "March" equinox, occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator south to north.
On this day the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere receive roughly equal amounts of sunlight.
It's also a hallmark of the change of the seasons.
It will happen March 20, marking the beginning of astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
