Dear friends,
Astronomers, Geodesists and Geographers know vernal point
very well. It is one of the two points on the earth's orbit where
the sun shines on both hemispheres for the same length of time.
The vernal equinox (March 21, when spring comes to the
Northern Hemisphere) has been selected as the reference that
serves as the origin for various measurements on the ecliptic.
As you know, the popular date for Earth Day has been April 22.
And since March 22 has been called World Water Day, so I
think "World Geosciences Day" or "Geo-Space Sciences Day"
is a good name for March 21. What's your idea?
Sincerely,
Masoud Fozunbal
