The March equinox marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It is often said to be the moment when the sun crosses above the Earth’s equator, moving from south to north, though of course it’s the earth, not the sun that is moving. This year’s equinox is at 3:06 UTC on March 20 (or March 19 for most of Canada).
