Fresh off my camera...3/19/2024. The sun, a ball of fire, getting ready to set between the two buildings, due west.

Today is Spring Equinox and the first day of spring. Here are some fun facts from Eartk Sky News:
> At every equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west.
> We're now just 20 days from the total solar eclipse on April 8. Eclipses and equinoxes are different sorts of events, yet they're related. Eclipses and equinoxes are cousins.
> Here’s a little-known equinox phenomenon: the sun sets faster around the time of an equinox.
