Today is the #FallEquinox! The fall equinox is the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator as it moves south for winter. For the next six months, the ...Sun is south of the equator and shines down more directly on the Earth's southern hemisphere. The equinoxes also are the days when the Sun rises due east and sets due west and when day and night are of equal length. http://griffithobservatory.org/sky/skyseasons.html See more
