The Jalali calendar is a solar calendar, Because months were computed based on precise times of solar transit between zodiacal regions, seasonal drift never exceeded one day, and also there was no need for a leap year in the Jalali calendar. However, this calendar was very difficult to compute; it required full ephemeris computations and actual observations to determine the apparent movement of the Sun. Some claim that simplifications introduced in the intervening years may have introduced a system with eight leap days in every cycle of 33 years.

Different rules, such as the year cycle, have also been accredited to Khayyam. However, the original Jalali calendar based on observations or predictions of solar transit would not have needed either leap years or seasonal adjustments.

In the next few days, we will enter from Summer into a season that Americans commonly call "Fall," but also called "Autumn. And what is the history behind both of these words?

That is a very interesting question! As autumn can get lumped into the autumn harvest time which can have a broad range , fall is really more about that season in which this fall of the leaves takes place. I can just imagine the fruit trees so heavily laden.

Very nicely written article - an apt description of autumn for sure. Thank you. Here, in Southern Alberta Lethbridge County , autumn is approaching The fields of grain have been clipped short leaving a yellow-brown stubble like a man's new beard. The upright green lush plants have taken on a droopy look The trees, oak, still stand proud and uplifted, still reaching towards the sky but their green glossy heads are slowly turning orangey-gold as an old man that has started to turn grayish white.

The grasses in the lawns are perking up now that a rain storm or two has past through the area. Apples, bowing down on slender branches, red and gold striped, are calling out to the gardener, "Come! Help me with my load! Come pick and make a platz, a pie, anything We need more time We can carry the colours through, because we are green, gold and red Here in central Maryland, it is still very humid and summery.

As an October baby, autumn is my favorite season! Mosquitoes will soon stop chasing me around the garden. We can enjoy the colorful leaves, pumpkins, apples and warm drinks.

Time for flannels, corduroy and sweaters pretty soon. Sometimes I really envy some animals ability to hibernate. Wish I could have went to sleep around May and woke up around October, as that is how long summer seems to last in Texas. Your pictures are beautiful. May I use some of your pictures for illustration in my book on forest ecology.

I have not determined which ones I will use. I will write the proper citation regarding the source of the pictures. This book is for education purposes, not for commercial ones.

Thank you very much. Sincerely, Wiryono.

And you cant forget Halloween! The best holiday of all!!! But when it comes to winter it sure finds a way to where out its welcome. Being originally from southern New Brunswick, Canada I was brought into this world in late Autumn and my siblings are all 1st.

Farm territory, hunting, fishing, trapping and lumbering! Spent a heck of alot of time on my Grandparents farm which was in my mum's family since approx. My grandfather being a Spencer! Oh, why? Well it's truly the survival season and a lot around the farm reflects all year what one has to do to prepare for it! It has a super blessing of bringing the coldest of cold and this wipes the earth clean of all it's tesitude of diseases and for this one miracle alone I cherish winter!

Have a super winter, hot chocolate, warm cider and a wee dram of what ale's the spirit! Thank you, N. Bryant from Toronto! We very much enjoyed reading about your life on the farm, your tribute to winter, and your positivity! Skip to main content. You are here Astronomy » Reference. By Catherine Boeckmann.
