Autumn 2012 Starts Now

Autumn 2012 Starts Now — At this moment, 10:49 a.m. EDT, Sept. 22, the sun has crossed the celestial equator  and autumn has started, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

This means that today the very center of the Sun sets just 12 hours after it rises. Of course as the upper and lower parts of the Sun also give light and that the Sun is actually visible below the horizon due to the reflection of the atmosphere we get a bit more light than dark even on equinoxes.
