September 23 marks the autumnal equinox, which means the official start of astronomical fall (remember, climatological fall started on September 1). The official time of the equinox is 4:20 AM Eastern Daylight Time.
EarthSky had an article this week discussing why day and night are not equal on the day of the equinox which you might find interesting.
