Celestial Events and Corpus

So, it turns out that if you head up to the 5th floor of the Billy Graham Center right just before sunrise at the time of the Autumnal Equinox you can see a shaft of light that slowly moves across the wall and highlight Corpus. How crazy cool is that? Many many thanks to my colleague John Walton for pointing this out to me (he is an early riser, and he says it only happens for about three days and only at this one time of year), and to Greg Schreck for rising early to document this event with some amazing photos. These pictures were taken September 22nd right at the height of the event.

​Honestly, I couldn't have planned this if I tried. Here's a black and white version of the same photo.
