Did You Know:

September 22, 2012, marks the beginning of autumn, when the sun crosses over the Earth’s equator on its way south — an event in the Northern Hemisphere called the autumnal equinox.

The word “equinox” comes from the Latin words for “equal night” and refers to when day and night are most equal in length, which occurs twice a year with the arrival of spring and fall.

The best meteor shower show of 2012 will occur late this fall. The Geminids will reach maximum activity December 13 to14. There will be a new moon on December 13, which means viewing conditions will be near perfect throughout both nights with an anticipated 75 fiery displays per hour. Mark your calendar!
