The Vernal Equinox is tomorrow morning at 1:14 AM. That's when the sun is over the equator in the earth's annual trip around the sun. The almanac says it's "the earliest start of spring in 116 years." I didn't go out to tuck the chickie girls in until 8:00 tonight and I could still easily see where I was walking.
Venus and Jupiter are quite close to each other in the western sky at sunset, but they were out of sight when I went out tonight (or at least I didn't pay attention to them). Their conjunction was a few days ago. I could see Mars almost 45 degrees up in the east on my way back to the house.
