Hi,
Yes, today is equinox day here on the Island of Kauai.
Sunrise this morning here was at 6:47 AM, HST;
sunset this evening will occur at 6:47 PM, HST. Thus,
12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of time that the Sun
will be below the horizon.
Why today, and not on/nearer the 21st? Two reasons actually,
our latitude is only 21.9N and the Earth's orbit about
the Sun is elliptical, not circular. Actually, the center of the
Sun is still 2 degrees South of the Equator today.
Anyway, just some trivial info which might be of some interest
to those also interested in how to find the direction towards
True North, hi. And, perhaps have something else on their
minds other than the current World news.
73, Jim KH7M
