Spring Equinox Eggs

March 20 is the spring equinox.  It is one of two days each year where we have equal day and equal night. A strange phenomenon that only occurs on the equinox is that you can balance an egg on end.  Now it is not as easy as it seems, but does work.  It took me a couple dozen attempts to get my egg to stand up.  Then the second was a bit easier.  My theory was that the position of the yolk in the cold egg took some time to settle into a balanced position.  It’s a theory.

Happy Spring.
