Backyard Compass - The Autumnal EquinoxFollowing our last Backyard Compass entry, here's a snap of my son Happy showing his shadow around noon on the Autumnal Equinox. Note how much longer his shadow is, and also how different the noon sunlight looks when the Sun is at a slanting angle and not directly overhead. LORD willing we'll have clear skies around the Winter Solstice so we can show how long the shadows are on that day. These are all the sorts of things your homescholar can learn from Signs & Seasons, our Christian homeschool astronomy curriculum.
