Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram – ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ September 23, 2023 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Equinox to all residents of Planet Earth. Equi-Nox, from the Latin Equal-Night, proclaims equal daylight and nighttime. But refraction of sunlight in our atmosphere at sunrise & sunset gives us all a few minutes more than 12 hours of daytime. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Sunrise over the Bronx, New York. September Equinox 1974.
