路的尽头是什么？太阳。许多城镇都有东西走向的道路，每年有两天，太阳从中间升起和落下。今天就是这样的一天：春分。今天不仅是夜晚（“aequus”-“nox”）和白天时间相等的一天，而且也是太阳从东方精确地升起，在正西方落下的一天。这里的特色是美国伊利诺伊州西北部一条风景如画的道路，大致是东西走向的。这张照片拍摄于2015年3月春分，拍摄的是日落时的太阳。在许多文化中，三月春分被认为是一个季节的第一天，通常在地球的北半球是春天，在南半球是秋天。你最喜欢的街道是东西走向的吗？今晚，日落时分，你一眼就能找到答案。

What's that at the end of the road? The Sun. Many towns have roads that run east - west, and on two days each year, the Sun rises and sets right down the middle. Today is one of those days: an equinox. Not only is today a day of equal night ("aequus"-"nox") and day time, but also a day when the sun rises precisely to the east and sets due west. Featured here is a picturesque road in northwest Illinois, USA that runs approximately east -west. The image was taken during the March Equinox of 2015, and shows the Sun down the road at sunset. In many cultures, this March equinox is taken to be the first day of a season, typically spring in Earth's northern hemisphere, and autumn in the south. Does your favorite street run east - west? Tonight, at sunset, you can find out with a quick glance.
