The sun sets while looking west toward East Madison Street in the Loop three days before the fall equinox on Sept. 20 2021, in Chicago.
Raise a pumpkin spice latte to fall’s return — the autumnal equinox takes place at 8:03 p.m. tonight. That’s when the sun shines equally on both the Northern and Southern hemispheres — making day and night nearly equal — before crossing the equator to head south. We will lose a little bit more sunlight each day until the winter solstice on
, the shortest day and longest night of the year. The same phenomenon will take place again next year to mark the spring, or vernal, equinox on March 20, 2023.
