The European Space Agency (ESA) on Saturday released a satellite image of night and day split in half on Earth’s surface area. The picture published on X, previously Twitter, reveals the going across of the Sun in the holy equator overhead and bringing fall to the Northern Hemisphere. Sharing the image, the space agency created, “Winter is coming. Day and night are split in half today, as the Sun crossed the celestial equator in the sky at 07:50 BST/08:50 CEST marking the autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. This #Meteosat image was taken at 09:00 BST/10:00 CEST this morning.”

Since being shared, the blog post has actually accumulated a great deal of responses from social media sites customers.
“This is an interesting post !” claimed a customer.
“Incredible,” claimed an additional individual.
“The autumn equinox has begun in the Northern Hemisphere. Shown here, a grand image of Earth from Meteosat in space with Africa, Europe, and the Middle East positioned to the front,” commented an additional customer.
An individual included, “Amazing; I had no idea the countries of the world were drawn onto the Earth like that.”
As per Space.com, Autumn started astronomically in the Northern Hemisphere and springtime began in the Southern Hemisphere. “The sun is currently migrating south, having spent the previous six months shining directly on the northern half of our planet. So, at the official start time of autumn, the sun would appear directly overhead from a ship in the Laccadive Sea, positioned on the equator, 170 miles (275 kilometres) northeast of Addu City in the Maldives,” the web site claimed.
The Earth’s axis is slanted either in the direction of or far from the sunlight for most of the year. It adheres to that the earth’s north and southerly parts obtain various quantities of heat and light from the sunlight. The Earth’s axis and orbit straighten at the equinox, dispersing sunshine just as to both hemispheres.
Two Latin words that indicate equivalent and night comprise words equinox. This is because of the truth that on the equinox, night and day are virtually equivalent in size. However, relying on where you get on the earth, one might obtain a couple of some added mins.
