🌍 Happy #Equinox! On 20 March 2025 at 09:01 GMT/10:01 CET, just a few moments ago, the Sun appeared directly above Earth's equator - with our planet neither tilting towards nor away from the Sun!

At the equinox of 20 March 2025, our planet is neither tilted towards nor away from the Sun, creating nearly equal day/night. This stunning Meteosat-12 image taken earlier this morning showcases the boundary between day and night running straight through the poles.
