Equinoctial Drift

Tonight at 19:23 BST, the Sun glides across the celestial equator, an invisible line etched into the sky, where Earth’s equator is projected outward into space.

This moment marks the Sun’s passage from the northern celestial hemisphere into the southern, tracing its path along the ecliptic, the tilted plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. This is orbital geometry.

From here, the Sun’s arc will dip lower in our skies each day, casting longer shadows and painting the world in amber light. The equinox is about balance and motion. A cosmic pivot. A dance.
