Summer Solstice: Earth’s Cosmic Clock

Sunday marked the summer solstice—the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when Earth’s tilt gives us peak daylight before days begin to shrink. The sun “stands still” at its highest point, signaling the official astronomical start of summer, while the Southern Hemisphere braces for winter. Ancient sites like Stonehenge were built to honor this cosmic rhythm, and though meteorologists kick off summer on June 1st, astronomers celebrate it Sunday. Enjoy the golden hours—they’ll fade fast as daylight dwindles toward winter. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
