Description

Today marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year for those in the Northern Hemisphere. The suns path is at its lowest, but brighter days are coming. The term solstice comes from Latin words meaning sun and to stop or pause. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, its their longest day and the start of summer. The Earths tilt causes unequal daylight, but from tomorrow, days will gradually get longer until the summer solstice in late June. So, while today might feel dark, remember its a turning point towards more sunshine and longer days.
