Equinox (That is Fall) approaching

Equinox! What does it mean? Well, the term is from Latin and it means "equal night."
Further definition comes from Infoplease:

"In the language of science, an equinox is either of two points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic and the celestial equator intersect. For the rest of us, it's one of two times a year when the Sun crosses the equator, and the day and night are of approximately equal length.

At the autumnal equinox (Sept 22, 2008; 11:44:18 A.M. EDT), the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, from north to south; this marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere."

Here are some other websites that explain all about the Autumnal Equinox.

9-11 Seven Years Later

Seven years ago, on September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center buildings were attacked by terrorists that flew two commercial airliners into each building. The two towers were destroyed with great loss of life. A third airliner crashed into the Pentagon, while a fourth crased in rural Pennsylvania.
