Nowruz Half a Yellow Sun

Description

The political boundaries of timezones create a cascading Gregorian new year with different celebrations as clocks strike 00:00 on January 1. Persian New Year (nowruz or نوروز) happens at the exact moment when the Sun crosses the Earth’s equator and the Northern Hemisphere welcomes spring; when families and friends from LA to Tehran call each other to wish a happy new year. Everyone’s nowruz is one (نوروز همه يكيست).
