FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Tom Campbell, in Towson, writes: “Farmer’s Almanac and all the TV weather guys had the [autumn] equinox at 11:09 p.m.[Wednesday]. Where are you getting 11:13?” I’ve seen both times published, too.
I take much of my data on these things from Guy Ottewell’s terrific Astronomical Calendar (left), and his source used 11:13 p.m. EDT. He blames the discrepancies on “differences somewhere deep in calculating programs.”
