Sun Crosses Celestial Equator- Going into Spring today

For some reason Australia always says it is the 01st of September, but that is not correct.

The September equinox is the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator—an imaginary line in the sky above Earth's equator—from north to south. This happens on September 22, 23, or 24 in most years.

Perfect, I always tell people, mother nature doesn't care for human calendars, have always gone off the equinoxes ever since my navy days lol.

Happy Spring Equinox

Spring has sprung!!!

I think that 1 September date is purely for convenience. I can't think of any other reason as to why. People just say the first of the month.

It is like Christmas in July. Convenient and another excuse to advertise and make money.  Come in Sucker...
