Winter Solstice

Very early this morning, in fact at 00:22 GMT was the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. In the geocentric view; the sun stopped travelling north, stood still over the tropic of Cancer at 23 degrees and 27 minutes north, and then began travelling south. In about 3 months time it will cross the equator, then in about six months it will stand still over the tropic of Capricorn.

What this means for us, is that the days will now start becoming lighter.

Something to look forward to!
