Winter solstice

Shortest day.

Happy Solstice, everyone!

 

And if your skies are clear this evening, about an hour past sunset, look at the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. They'll be so close (from our perspective) that they'll almost look like a single object.

Take solace that at our winter solstice, the days will now begin to lengthen.

TECH & SCIENCEASTRONOMYSTONEHENGETHE SUNWINTER SOLSTICE

This December, you can watch a live stream of the sun setting and rising above the famous Stonehenge archaeological site in England to mark the winter solstice.

In year's past, people have celebrated the summer and winter solstices by gathering at the prehistoric monument—located in Wiltshire, southwestern England—in their thousands.

 

 

Celebrations of the solstices have been observed at the site for thousands of years, and modern-day pagans still consider such traditions spiritually important.

But due to the coronavirus pandemic, English Heritage—the charity that manages the monument—has said winter solstice celebrations will not take place in the interests of public health, following discussions with local authorities.

Instead, English Heritage will host a live stream of sunrise and sunset from Stonehenge on December 20 and 21. Similar streams of this year's summer solstice attracted more than five million viewers, according to the charity.
