Happy Winter Solstice



At 10:35 a.m. today, the "sun stands still." Across the Northern Hemisphere, the late-morning moment is when this year's winter solstice occurs. Solstice is Latin for "sun standing still."

For the planet and its people, the winter solstice has all kinds of meanings.

The winter solstice marks the moment of the sun's southernmost position during its apparent course across the southern sky.
