Autumn arrives tomorrow morning at 2:50 a.m. The evidence of a changing season has been noticeable particularly in the last few weeks. Hurricane Lee sent a plethera of cool northerly breezes our way, significantly colder than what we've had. The hours of day and the hours of night are about the same.

Look up at the night sky and the evidence is so noticeable. Arcturus, the brightest star now in the western sky was higher during summer. Above the northwestern horizon the familiar constellation Big Dipper is positioned to cook a meal. The handle points to Arcturus.

In the east the zodiacal constellation Capricornus is another sign of autumn. Look for the brightest celestial object and it is the ringed-planet Saturn, the brightest in the east. Take a look Tuesday night and the waxing gibbous moon appears right next to the planet. The two rise in the eastern sky together. Only a week away, the full moon, the Harvest Moon, takes place on Friday, September 29.
