EPISODE 67: Solstices & Equinoxes
Original Air Date: 7-25-1987
Rebroadcast Date: 7-25-2024
Our planet is a very rich ecosystem, of which spontaneously came to being by a small fault. The earth’s irregular tilt led to climatic activities, as solar rays intercepted disproportional zones on the planet’s surface. The result was four seasons: winter, summer, spring, and fall. As the earth makes revolutions the seasons change and the intermediate periods between are dubbed solstices and equinoxes. Join us on tonight’s episode to discover the threshold of the seasons.
MESSAGE FROM ROY G. BIV
Hello All!
I do apologize for this rather impromptu unorthodox equinox episode. I’m recording this mini lecture series while on vacation. It seems I can’t escape work, there’s always something to explore. I’m currently in Florida, on what should be a nice week off. I started studying climate anomalies and realized that today is Christmas in July. A much-overlooked phenomena mainly because people don’t know what it means. Here in North America the typical seasons end with winter, which means the holidays occur when it’s snowing. But for the other side of the world, moreso the southern hemisphere, it’s a frozen wonderland, as they experience winter during the summer. Weird right? Anyhow, I’m wishing you a marvelous holiday.
Exeunt,
-Dr. Royden G. Biverly
