The onset of autumn
The astronomical start of stations is given, by convention, as the moment when the Earth passes through a given position in its orbit around the Sun.
For the fall, this position is from the center of the Sun as seen from Earth, crosses the celestial Ecuador in its apparent movement southward.
When this happens, the length of day and night practically coincide, and so, this circumstance is also called the autumnal equinox. At this time in the southern hemisphere spring starts.

The astronomical start of fall 2014 takes place in the early Tuesday morning at 4h 29m peninsular official time , as calculated by the National Astronomical Observatory, a station whose first event will be a shooting star (Draconid ), that on Wednesday October 8 will peak.
Autumn lasts 89 days and 20 hours, and end on December 22 with the onset of winter. The time change will occur on the last Sunday of October 26th , when 3 hours have to clocks ahead one hour, as reported by IGN in a note.
Meteor showers
After the first meteor shower in October, the next important development will be the Leonid shower, which occurs around November 17 and occasionally becomes very intense. The heaviest rainfall is usually to the Geminids , the maximum rate occurs around the December 13 .
As for the planets you will see this fall, in the morning sky will be Jupiter and Saturn will join him at the end of the season . At the beginning of the evening will be Mars , and to mid-autumn, Saturn.
During this season Two eclipses will not be visible from Spain will occur . One full moon (October 8) will be visible in Asia, Australia, Pacific Ocean and America and other part of the Sun (23 October), which will be visible in eastern North America.
As the full moon, the first will fall on October 8, giving the following 29 or 30 days later. This fall two full moons occur:. November 6 and December 6
shorter days
This is the time of year when the length shortens day faster. The sun rises in the morning every day a little later than the previous day and evening sets earlier, so shortening the day is particularly noticeable in the evenings .
In short, early fall time when the Sun is above the horizon is reduced by almost three minutes each day at latitudes of the peninsula .
Visible Constellations
As for the fictitious groups of stars known as constellations around the North Star will be over night Cygnus, Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor and Giraffe .
The ecliptic constellations visible in this period range from Capricorn to Virgo. Above the ecliptic will highlight Pegasus and Andromeda; below, Whale and Orion and the stars Sirius and Procyon.
