Happy #FallEquinox! 🍂 Today, the Sun crosses Earth’s celestial equator, marking the official start of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. It's also the time of year when day and night are nearly equal in length around the globe.

Look up tonight.

The Moon will pass through Earth's shadow during a deep partial lunar eclipse visible from much of North and South America and parts of Europe and Africa. As the eclipse deepens, the Moon will appear tinged with shades of red and copper.
