msnbc.com: Technology & Science

This sky map shows how the moon and Mars will appear at 4 a.m. local time on Sept. 23, 2011, the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, to skywatchers with clear skies at mid-northern latitudes.On Friday, Sept. 23, the sun will cross the celestial equator, heading south, in the annual equinox marking the start of the fall season in the Northern Hemisphere and the spring in the south. But this year's equinox brings a special treat: the moon and planet Mars shining together at dawn.
