Equinox + 1

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun rises due east twice a year, at the spring and fall equinoxes. This photo captures the Sun rising exactly along an east-west canal in Tempe, Arizona. The photographer waited one day after the vernal equinox to account for the Sun's angled path at Tempe's latitude, ensuring the perfect alignment.
