The autumn equinox is alternate between the Northern hemisphere and the Southern hemisphere: for the countries of the Northern hemisphere, the fall equinox takes place on September 23 in 2006 whereas for those of the southern hemisphere, this same date corresponds to the spring equinox!
The first day of the Autumn corresponds to the entry during one time when the sunning decreases. It is one period of the very pleasant year, neither too heat, nor too cold, where nature offers a blazing and coloured face to us.

Happy New Year ....
… Not, it is not an error, it is quite simply Ethiopian New Year's day!
“Like the calendar copte, the Ethiopian calendar has twelve 30 days months each one plus five or six epagomenes days (usually called thirteenth month), but with names into amharic. The sixth epagomene day is added every four years on August 29 in the calendar Julien, six months before the epagomene day of this last.
Thus, Ethiopian New Year's day, 1st of the month of Mäskäräm celebrates on August 30 in the Julien calendar when the sixth day is added. For the years of the Gregorian calendar going from 1901 to 2099 included, the equivalent corresponds to September 11.
To indicate the date, the Ethiopian ones used in the beginning the Era of the Incarnation, which fixes the date of the incarnation of Jesus at March 25 of year 9 of the Christian era (Julien) (chosen by Annianus of Alexandria at the beginning of Ve century). But the first calendar year began seven months earlier, on August 29 of year 8 (Julien), which involved a eight years shift with the Gregorian comput of January 1 to September 10 then a seven years shift for the remainder of the Gregorian year. “

One year… already
One year ago, I started preparing my return in France after a few very instructive months in Munich and astronomical science (ESO with Garching) to take care of the data observed from the VLT (Broad Very Telescopes) in Chile or from HST (Hubble Space Telescope).
