Solstice on a Spinning Earth apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25122...
Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

Happy Winter Solstice!
On midwinter’s day, the sun sets between the pair of stones that form the largest trilithon at #Stonehenge
Farewell to the shortest day of the year, as we look forward to lighter days ahead! ☀️

Astronomical #winter starts today. It's the shortest day of the year in terms of daylight with the sun starting to set later each day until Summer Solstice.
The mosaic depicts the dancing Genii (protective spirits) of the four seasons. The Genius of winter is wrapped in a heavy cloak.🧵1/2

It's the second day of the #Saturnalia festival. Io, io! 🌟
Celebrations continued at home, where individuals conducted their private religious rituals. People bathed early, made a sacrifice and ate a suckling pig, a Saturnalia favourite! 🐷

It's 16 minutes past 3. The sun has set in #Orkney. Just 6 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today.
We are almost at the shortest day but there will still be 9 minutes less daylight on the #WinterSolstice.
And then the light returns. 💡
