Happy Winter Solstice 2011


The earliest humans knew that the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built monuments, such as Stonehenge, to follow the sun’s yearly progress.
The winter solstice is today for us in the northern hemisphere. After the winter solstice, the days will get longer. Celebration time!
