 Jupiter's Satellite
Tora grinned at her favorite professor of her favorite subject and was just glad he had interpreted her shouting the right way (instead of, you know, getting mad for the noise and taking away House points). But moving onto the next question. This one she knew, it was basic Astronomy! Anyone who knew anything about the stars and the sun knew about the spring and winter solstices. Apparently, she wasn't the only one who knew anything about the stars in this class because most of her classmates beat her to answer Professor's question. Still, why not add in her own little something? "The equinoxes are on those two days. And you know how the sun rises in the East and sets in the West? The only days this really happens are on the equinoxes," she felt that this fun fact would help out the discussion, but she had a question. "Um, professor? It can't be true that they are exactly equal everywhere on Earth on the equinoxes. I know that's part of what an equinox is, but I don't understand. The far north and the far south have got to be a little different..." the fourth year asked.
