Autumnal Equinox aka Vernal Equinox aka First Day of Fall 2008 is Today

Today is the day – it’s the first day of fall for 2008. Autumnal Equinox the exact opposite of Vernal Equinox will take place at 11:44:16am Eastern Time.

The Autumnal Equinox happens when the Sun gets directly over the equator of the Earth. On a day like today, the Sun will spend an equal below and above the horizon of each hemisphere. It’s the Autumnal Equinox, it’s the first day of fall 2008. The nights are gonna get longer and will be longer than day until the Vernal equinox, aka the first day of spring 2009 arrives. I’m not gonna say that we will be able to sleep longer, cause we won’t. We’ll sleep the same, we will just get to see the daylight way less.

The picture above is the pentacle for Fall Equinox. Happy First Day of Fall 2008, everyone ;)
