It's the #SpringEquinox in the northern hemisphere, when day and night are equal.

Welcome the #firstdayofspring with this lovely Roman fresco of Flōra, the goddess of the flowering of plants and of the season of spring. From the Villa of Ariadne, Stabiae in Italy. Image
The Spring Equinox is mentioned in this 3,000-year-old cuneiform tablet from ancient Mesopotamia.
'On the 6th of Nisan (I) the day and the night were in balance: 6 'double-hours' of daylight, 6 'double-hours' of night. cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_… Image
The tablet was part of the library of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria. Reports were given to him by officials and scholars.

This is a fragment of a Neo-Assyrian clay tablet with depictions of constellations. It represents the night sky of 3-4 January 650 BC over Nineveh. Image

(Thread) The official start of Spring - the Spring/Vernal Equinox - is today, at 5:58 PM EDT. This marks the time when the day-to-night line, called the terminator, is perfectly vertical from pole to pole. #SpringEquinox #FirstDayOfSpring
The Vernal Equinox is also the day of the year when day and night are most nearly equal everywhere on earth.
There will be more daylight than nighttime each day now, until the Fall/Autumnal Equinox in September.
