Happy Rosh Hashana- New Year 5767.
Friday night Sept. 22nd is 1 Tishrei 5767.
Saturday Sept. 23 is the first day of Rosh Hashana.
Saturday Sept. 23rd is the Autunmal Equinox
EQUAL NIGHT: On Saturday, Sept. 23rd (0403 UT), the sun crosses the celestial equator, marking the autumnal equinox--the first day of northern autumn. Equinox means equal night. With the sun on the celestial equator, Earthlings will experience 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. It's also the beginning of aurora season!
Happy Solar Eclipse
SOLAR ECLIPSE: There's an annular solar eclipse tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 22nd. It begins at 0930 UT when the sun, not an orb but a ring, rises over Surinam and Guyana.
Annular eclipses occur when the Moon passes straight in front of the sun but fails to cover the entire solar disk. A sliver of sun pokes out in all directions producing a ring of fire.
Unfortunately, almost all of Friday's eclipse takes place over uninhabited ocean. The narrow red line in this map traces the "path of annularity." After leaving French Guiana, it touches nothing solid for thousands of miles. Only in the tiniest countries of South America will the ring of fire be visible from land.
Elsewhere, the sun will appear as a crescent, a result of the Moon crossing off-center. In Brazil and Argentina, people will experience a crescent sunrise. Later in the day, crescent sunbeams will dapple the ground in Africa. None of the eclipse will be visible from North America, Europe or Asia. More information: Maps and Timetables Safe Solar Filters
Enjoy the Energy.
