Temperatures are dropping quickly, just in time for the official first day of autumn tomorrow. The autumnal equinox occurs when the Earth’s axis is not tilted toward nor away from the Sun, causing night and day to be approximately the same length. The same thing occurs in the spring and is called the vernal equinox. The official time for the equinox tomorrow is 9:04 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, aka Zulu time). Happy belated birthday (yesterday) to Donna Wille, Sept. 21.
