Happy Summer Solstice!

If you're reading this in the Northern Hemisphere then welcome to the longest day of the year. The summer solstice marks the astronomical point where during Earth’s orbit the North Pole is at its maximum tilt towards the Sun, which is traveling along its northernmost path in the sky. As a result of the longer trip, it makes Earth’s hours of sunlight the longest day and shortest night of the year. One of the most famous places to watch the longest day dawn is the 5,000-year-old Stonehenge in England, where celebrators gather to watch the Sun come up through the ancient stones, which are oriented perfectly in the direction of the sunrise on the summer solstice.
