CASPER, Wyo — According to the National Weather Service today is the Autumnal Equinox. Happening at 1:20 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time the amount of daylight and the amount of sunlight is almost exactly equal.
At least in theory we should experience a full 12 hours of sunlight and a full 12 hours of darkness today. Although according to some sources, it might not be that evenly split depending on where we sit in relation to the equator.
After today, the days will start to get shorter, and the nights longer. We will not see this equality again until the Spring Equinox.
The moon is also special today, being the Full Harvest moon!
This marks the official start of fall! Time to pull out those sweaters, drink all the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and enjoy the fall colors!
