I’m fascinated by the stars and cosmology. So I’m sharing  a video that explains the equinox. It will help you see it and understand it better — I love visual learning.

The equinox celebrates equal “incoming solar energy to the Northern and Southern hemispheres” of the earth — often explained as equal hours of day and night. There are two in a year — in the spring (vernal) and in the fall (autumnal). Joseph Smith got the gold plates on autumnal equinox, which is kind of an interesting subject.
