黑料网 students made the most of the last days of summer this week on campus, enjoying being outdoors before the days begin to grow cooler and leaves change colors.
Saturday, Sept. 23 is the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and also the autumn equinox. An equinox occurs twice a year, once in fall and once in spring when the sun is aligned with the Earth's equator. The word "equinox" means "equal night," because during an equinox, the day and night are nearly equal. Nearly, but not quite equal, as the sun peeking over the horizon provides a little more daylight. When day and night are exactly 12 hours each, that's called an equilux, and it occures a few days after the autumn equinox and a few days before the spring equinox.
