September 22, 2024: Happy AUTUMN, dear friends!

Officially speaking, today (September 22’24) is the first day of a new autumn (also known as the autumnal equinox) in our Northern Hemisphere,
occasion which allows me to send along my best regards to all for a prosperous season ahead!
Pleasing harvest, dear ones! Let the bounty of this autumn fill your hearts and homes!
"Coboara toamna-ncet din slava. Naframa galbena-i rasare...." (Octavian Goga)
A brief oasis of poetry and inner reflection:
           (Ro) ”Şi totuşi, vine toamna... Şi tu o simţi şi o îngâni... Şi totuşi, vine toamna... Şi vai, suntem bătrâni!
                                    Totuşi toamna(poem de Adrian Păunescu;  interpretare Tatiana Stepa)video clip

Short scientific briefing on AUTUMNAL EQUINOX:
The Autumnal Equinox is an astronomical event, nearly noticed by everyone, marking the arrival of fall in Northern Hemisphere. During the equinox, the night & day have almost the same length (12 hours) throughout the world. The word "equinox" derives from Latin, meaning “equal night". The equinox happens when the equator passes the centre of the sun. This is when the North & South Poles of the Earth are not tilted towards or away from the sun, as at other times, but are aligned so as to give, theoretically, the same amount of daylight in both of the Earth's hemispheres.
