ODE TO THE LAST BREATHS OF SUMMER:
(from BrevardTimes.com):
"The 2014 Autumn Equinox falls on Monday, September 22, 2014. The Autumn Equinox is caused by the tilt of the earth's rotating axis.
"According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, the Autumn Equinox, marking the changing of the Seasons from the last day of Summer to the first day of Fall [in the Northern Hemisphere), occurs on September 23, 2014 at 02:29 a.m. Universal Time (10:29 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 22, 2014).
"Equinox means 'equal night' in Latin, capturing the idea that daytime and nighttime are equal lengths everywhere on the planet. That is true of the Sun's presence above the horizon, though it does not account for twilight, when the Sun's rays extend from beyond the horizon to illuminate our gas-filled atmosphere.
"It is the equal amount of day and night in the northern hemisphere for locations like Melbourne, Florida, but also in the southern hemisphere for locations like Melbourne, Australia.
"Of course, it is not the Sun that is moving north or south through the seasons, but a change in the orientation and angles between the Earth and its nearest star. The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees relative to the Sun and the ecliptic plane.
"The [Earth's] axis is tilted away from the Sun at the December solstice and toward the Sun at the June solstice, spreading more and less light on each hemisphere. At the equinoxes, the tilt is at a right angle to the Sun and the light is spread evenly."
So there....All you ever need to know about this Magical period known as the Autumn Equinox!!! LOL! :^)
WISHING YOU ALL A JOYOUS WEEKEND!
