Justin Grieser at the Washington Post announces "Autumn arrives: The fall equinox explained in six images." Deborah Byrd at EarthSky tells us everything we need to know about the September equinox. The Old Farmer's Almanac offers a sampling of information, folklore, and verse. And Space.com says that "Referring to the equinox as being a time of equal day and night is a convenient oversimplification."
