Fall equinox, also known as autumn equinox or September equinox, is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year. It marks the beginning of fall season in the Northern Hemisphere and spring season in the Southern Hemisphere. During this time, the position of the Earth in its orbit causes the Sun to be directly above the Earth's equator. During the fall equinox, the length of day and night are approximately equal all over the world, giving it the name "equinox" which means equal night in Latin. This phenomenon is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis, which results in different amounts of sunlight reaching different parts of the globe throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the fall equinox usually occurs on September 22 or 23, signaling the transition from the warmth of summer to the cooler temperatures of fall.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the fall equinox usually occurs on September 22 or 23, signaling the transition from the warmth of summer to the cooler temperatures of fall. The days gradually become shorter, and the leaves on trees begin to change color and eventually fall. It is a time of harvest for many crops and a time of preparation for the colder months ahead.

Pulitzer-Winning Author Stacy Schiff on the Salem Witch Trials

In our special Halloween edition of “The Learning Curve,” Cara and Gerard are joined by Pulitzer-Prize winner Stacy Schiff, whose most recent book is The Witches: Salem, 1692. They discuss why, in Schiff’s view, the Salem witch trials are the “the best known, least understood chapter” of American history, and why the trials, false charges, and finger pointing, remain relevant today in our Internet culture. They review the characteristics of the accused and accusers, and compare them to perceptions passed down through the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Arthur Miller, and others. They also explore the connection between Puritanism, with its iconoclastic principles, and the American founding; and how such a highly literate society based on piety and learning could devolve into one that embraces hocus pocus, superstition, and injustice. Schiff delves into the role of gender and race in the witch trials, and what colonial Salem teaches us about how hysteria can foment civil strife and violence. She concludes with a reading from The Witches: Salem, 1692.
