See The ‘Planet Parade’ During Fall Equinox And A Solar Eclipse
The autumnal equinox marks the start of fall with equal daylight and nighttime due to Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt, affecting both hemispheres differently, NASA said.
- The autumnal equinox occurred on Monday, September 22, 2025, marking the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
- This event occurs when the sun aligns with Earth's equatorial plane because of the planet's 23.5° axial tilt, resulting in nearly equal durations of daylight and darkness around the globe.
- Alongside the equinox on September 22, observers in regions including New Zealand, Antarctica, and select areas of the southern Pacific Ocean will experience a striking partial solar eclipse at sunrise, with the moon obscuring up to 86% of the sun.
- The five-planet parade continues this week, featuring Venus, Jupiter, Saturn visible to the naked eye, and Uranus and Neptune visible with binoculars or a telescope.
- Following the equinox, sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere will gradually decrease daily until the winter solstice on December 21, leading to longer nights and cooler temperatures.
