🌞 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅?
The equinox is the time when day and night are almost equal in length. It comes from the Latin words "𝗮𝗲𝗾𝘂𝘂𝘀" (𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡) and "𝗻𝗼𝘅" (𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩). The "𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆" 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 are due to refraction of sunlight, or the bending of light rays that causes the sun to appear above the horizon even though its actual position is below.

🌍 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅?
This happens because the earth is tilted 23.5 degrees as it revolves around the sun. When the sun is in the middle of the equator, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive the same amount of light, so the time of day and night are equal. At higher latitudes (further from the equator), daylight hours are longer because sunrise and sunset take longer. During the equinox, the length of the day varies from 12 hours and 6.5 minutes at the equator, 12 hours and 8 minutes at 30 degrees latitude, and 12 hours and 16 minutes at 60 degrees latitude.

📜 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲
There are 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿: the 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 (𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝟮𝟭) is the 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆 in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the start of winter, while the 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 (𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝟮𝟬 𝙤𝙧 𝟮𝟭) is the 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆, signaling the start of summer.

In contrast, 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀 occur in 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 (𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝟮𝟭) and 𝙎𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 (𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝟮𝟯), when the 𝙨𝙪𝙣 is 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧, resulting in 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩.

🇵🇭 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀?
In the Philippines, after the equinox, the 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 of 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 and the 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 and 𝗱𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, which is important for agriculture and daily life, can be noticed.

📌 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻?
In Manila, the September Equinox will occur on 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆❟ 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟮❟ 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰❟ 𝟴:𝟰𝟯 𝗣𝗠 (24-hour format: 20:43).

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 '𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻' 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀!🌕🌑

🌏 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜:

On 𝙎𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝟮𝟵❟ 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, Earth will have its own “𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣” for two months!

This phenomenon involves an asteroid named 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙋𝙏𝟱, which was identified by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on August 7, 2024. Originating from the Arjuna asteroid belt, it is expected to return there after leaving Earth’s orbit on 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝟮𝟱❟ 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.

This often referred to as a “𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣” which will orbit our planet. However, it measures only 𝟯𝟯 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙩 (10 meters) across, making it nearly impossible to view with the naked eye.

Earth is capable of capturing asteroids from the Near-Earth object (NEO) category and pulling them into temporary orbits, resulting in these mini-moons.

SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MONTH !!

" Su***de is a permanent solution to temporary problems " - Robin Williams

This is the time to raise awareness, break the long term stigma, and open our hearts to the people, love ones, and friends that are suffering in silence. This is not the time to be silent!

May this month reminds us of the importance of compassion, understanding, and connecting with everyone. Each life is precious, and by sharing our stories, offering support, and simply being present, we can create a world where hope prevails.

This month is a call to reach out, to check in on loved ones, to help and protect them and to spread the message that no one has to face their darkest moments alone. Together, we can light the way toward healing and hope.
