 None of the brighter planets are now visible in the early evening. Uranus is in Aquarius, but not visi- ble to the naked eye. Venus Is bril- liant as a morning star. On Septem- Der IS it makes a close approach % the planet Neptune. At o'clock !n the morning of that day the two planets are closest. five minutes apart. As Neptune is always invisi- ble to the naked eye a telescope Is necessary to see this planet.
 The Equinox
 On September 23, 9;20 a. m. east ern standard time. the sun crosses the equator, going southward and autumn commences. This time is called the autumnal equinox, be- cause the day and night are of equal length. Strictly speaking. however, this is not true. On this day the sun rises at 5:<9 a. m. and sets at 5:5S p. m. The day Is thus 14 minutes long CT than the night. This lengthening of the day at the expense of the night comes from the fact that the sun Is counted as rising when its upper edge first appears above the horizon. and considered as setting when its upper edge disappears. The refraction due to earth's atmosphere raises the sun a distance about equal to Its diameter. so that we see it>rise about two and half minutes sooner
