🍂 A little more balance, a little more autumn.

On September 22, the autumnal equinox marks the official beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere! As the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, day and night become nearly equal in length.

From here, the days grow shorter, the nights grow longer, and the stars get a little more time to shine. ✨

Here’s to crisp evenings, longer nights, and a whole new season of stargazing! 🔭
