VERNAL EQUINOX
THE HARBINGER
OF SPRING
By John A. Wilson
The Vernal Equinox, harbinger of
spring in less harsh climates than the
sub-arctic regions of Alaska, occurs
tomorrow, Morcii 20, 11:20 p. tn. The
sun at that time passes over the equa
tor from south towards north and day
and night are equal all over the earth.
This, however, is modified a little by
the phenomena known as the refrac
tion of light, -which makes the sun ap
pear a little higher than it really is,
and thus accelerates sunrise and re
tards sunset, making the day about
16 minutes longer than at night. To
morrow the sun rises 6:02 a. m. and
sets 6:18 p. m. The farenoon is 5
hours 58 minutes in length and the af
ternoon 6 hours 18 minutes, but this is
accounted for by the Equation of Time,
which at this time is additive to ap
parent sun time. The day at present
: is gaining in length 6 min. 37 sec. daily,
and the sun is also gaining rapidly in
height, 21 minutes of arc daily, or 1
degree in 2Va days. At Nome tomor
row the sun is 25Vj degrees above the
horizon. At the equator the sun is
vertically overhead, while at he poles
it is just skirting the horizon.
The rxith on the star sphere that the
sum appears to move over in the course
of a year is called the Zodiac, and it is
divided into 12 constellations of stars,
through each of which the sun travels
in one month. In the days of the Greek
astronomer Hipparchus, who in 131 1!.
C. constructed the first catalog of
stars on modern principles, the sun at
the Vernal Equinox entered the Zodiac
canstellation Aries (the Ham). This
point is called the First Point of Aries,
and is the zero mark from which celes
tial longitude is reckoned, just as
Greenwich marks the starting point of
tcrrestlal longitude. This, however, is
not a fived iioint among the stars, for
owing to a small movement known as
the [“recession of the Equinoxes, (he
sun moves backward 50 seconds of arc
yearly, and it has retrogadod a whole
sign since the days of Hipparchus,
so that at Vemail Equinox it is no
longer in Arles, but in the constella
tion behind it, Pisces, (the Fishes).
