December Solstice, New Year's Star and Planets
The December solstice marks the sun's southernmost point in the sky, for all of Earth, for this year. It comes at 9:21 UTC (3:21 a.m. CST) on December 21. Though no world body has decreed it, we in the Northern Hemisphere will celebrate the first day of winter at this solstice. For us, it heralds the longest nights and shortest days of our year. Do you have a "personal solstice," a way you like to celebrate the change of seasons, or some special sunset view, or time to watch shadows? We'll show a few personal solstice photos and stories offered by the EarthSky community and we welcome yours at:
