For centuries\, civilizations around the world recognized the significance of this event and built traditions and structures aligned with the changing seasons. \nGuests will gather on the Great Lawn to learn about the science behind the equinox\, its cultural importance throughout history and how it influences the way we observe the night sky. \nYou will discover: \n\n\nWhy the sun rises due east and sets due west during the vernal equinox \n\n\nHow Earth’s tilt affects the changing seasons \n\n\nHow ancient civilizations observed and celebrated the equinox \n\n\nHow the equinox influences our view of the sky \n\n\nPlease follow event signs and park on the north side of the parking lot. Guests should enter through the Let It Glow gate. \nThis event is weather dependent and may be rescheduled. Please check the Discovery Park website for updates on the day of the program. \nPassport to the Universe \nAstronomy Night – Vernal Equinox is the third class in Discovery Park’s Passport to the Universe program. Guests who attend five or more classes in 2026 will receive a commemorative patch. \nParticipants who already have a Passport to the Universe booklet should bring it with them to receive credit for attending. \nPassport to the Universe programs are free and open to all guests.
