[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Blainerb: Not only was your author wrong as to the ruler of Capricorn, he implies that the autumn equinox falls on the 22 of September every year of the four years Joseph Smith went to the hill to meet with the angel. This could not have been true, as the autumn equinox changes days according to several factors, mostly having to do with whether or not the year is a leap year. See table below for an example of this-- notice the time of day varies as well as the day.
