Spring Equinox

Yesterday evening here in Illinois, and around midnight at Greenwich, England; we had the Spring Equinox. Equinox in latin means equal night. In Spanish it would be "igual noche", more grammatically correct noche igual. As one can read in Wikipedia:

"The word equinox derives from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night)."

Today the night and the day are of the same length. Starting tomorrow, days will be longer than nights and we will be in our way to Summer, which is hot in the Northern hemisphere.
