It's officially fall! I just read a great blog post by John Vigor about checking your compass today - on the autumnal equinox.
Read this very interesting article by National Geographic about the autumnal equinox.
Check out this website to calculate solar position for any time and place on earth:

Here it is for my location today. Note that the sun's azimuth at 19:08 (our sunset) is 270° - due West!
