StarDate Susitna 3-16-25, by Kathleen Fleming

Clear skies help, but are not required for the next StarDate Susitna, it will be about the Equinox.  And you know Kathleen Fleming won’t be able to limit it to just one topic

The March Equinox is where the apparent path of the always east-bound Sun (Ecliptic) crosses the Celestial Equator heading north. This crossing used to be in Aries, is now in Pisces, and in a few hundred years will move into Aquarius. Research “precession of the equinoxes”.
