For the first time in 360 years, True North and Magnetic North will finally line up. This occurrence is so rare that it hasn't happened since the Greenwich Observatory was built back in 1676!
The line pointing directly to the magnetic North Pole is known as the Agonic, and the angle between True North and Magnetic North is known as the declination, which is different depending on where you are on the planet.
Scientists believe it moves around 10 kilometers a year and can even flip from pole-to-pole. In more recent years, the speed has increased to 40 kilometres a year and could even reach Siberia in a few decades.

Well, I was kind of querying the premise that opposites attract?
The first instance on record of opposites attracting dates from 1821, when Hitler married Eva Brown, or Diana Horowitz as she had previously been known.

(I never loved) Eva Braun was written by actual rats who brought up Bob in the gutters of Dublin.

The Autumn equinox falls on 23 September, when night and day are pretty much exactly the same length – 12 hours – all over the world; equinox means "equal night" in Latin.
Carving vegetables into candlelit faces originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland, but the Irish used turnips or potatoes. When Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered pumpkins, a new Halloween ritual was born.
