Fall will be officially ushered in at 9:49 a.m. central time this morning, as the Autumnal Equinox takes place in the planetary realm.

To view the sunrise/sunset and/or twilight tables for your area, we suggest this link at the U.S. Naval Observatory's site. The tables aren't fully of pretty looking graphics or anything like that, but they are very accurate and for specific locations.
