Autumnal Equinox 2009

Fidál (Grace), 15 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Tuesday, September 22, 2009 about 5:52 AM Pacific Time

Today the sun cross the celestial equator at 5:18 PM EDT, which is 2:18 PM PDT. After the sun crosses the equator it begins to move southwest (at least in the northern hemisphere). On the first day of autumn day and night is of equal length.

I miss autumn in Oklahoma. The change in season is somewhat more noticeable there then in Las Vegas. The leaves on the trees change colors earlier in Oklahoma then they do here. I'm looking forward to my next-door neighbor's Oak tree changing colors, but that won't happen until late November or early December.
