The Autumnal Equinox is on September 23rd. Isn’t that exciting? Wow! Whoopee! Who cares? A lot of people don’t know what it is. And when they find out, most don’t care anyway. Other stuff is more interesting.
The Autumnal Equinox is the day that there are equal hours of day and night (12 each) all over the Earth. The Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer at 12 noon.
The Tropic of Cancer currently lies 23° 26′ 22″ north of the Equator.


Don’t worry about it. You don’t need a shadow.
Sun dials need shadows and so do the Ancient Druids. Sun dials help us tell time. The Ancient Druids had Stonehenge to help tell the time and the seasons.



We needed a way to tell time. History shows that two pre-historic caveman tinkered and invented the hourglass and the clock. (Tinkering has nothing to do with tinkling)







And on Yom Kippur we don’t eat.


So .... HAPPY AUTUMNAL EQUINOX!
Also ... Our Sun is named Sol. I had an uncle named Sol. This proves Einstein was right about relativity. And also .... The Druids used to dance around naked.
