JAMES:
THE AUTUMNAL EQUNIOX IS ON SEPTEMBER 23RD.

DEAN:
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHATS REALLY HAPPENING ON THE

FIRST DAY OF FALL.

JAMES:
WHAT DOES EQUINOX MEAN?

WELL, 'EQUI' MEANS EQUAL AND 'NOX'
MEANS NIGHT, AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF FALL

THE LENGTH OF NIGHT
IS EQUAL TO THE LENGTH OF DAY.

12 HOURS OF DAYLIGHT AND 12 HOURS OF DARKNESS.

EQUAL DAY, EQUAL NIGHT, EQUINOX.

DEAN:
AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF FALL, THE SUN WILL

RISE DIRECTLY DUE EAST AND SET DIRECTLY DUE
WEST.

JAMES:
YOU CAN PROVE IT YOURSELF IF YOU DRIVE TO

WORK ON A DUE-EAST HIGHWAY.

AT SUNRISE, THE SUN WILL RISE DIRECTLY OVER
THE YELLOW LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

DEAN:
AND IF YOU DRIVE HOME AT SUNSET ON A

DUE-WEST HIGHWAY
THE SUN WILL SET DIRECTLY IN FRONT

OF YOU.

SO PUT THOSE SUN VISORS DOWN,
HAVE A HAPPY AUTUMNAL EQUINOX AND...

BOTH:
KEEP LOOKING UP!
