How an Astronomer Predicted the Solstice Over 2,000 Years Ago
June Solstice is around the corner! This astronomical event marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. In other words, it marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. For astronomers, it marks the perfect time to observe the stars and planets in the night sky. With the long days and short nights of the solstice, the extra hours of darkness are perfect for getting a good look at the stars and planets. So grab your telescope and get ready to gaze in wonder at the celestial wonders of the night sky!
