I enjoy the Winter Solstice almost as much as I enjoy the Summer Solstice, primarily because it means the Summer Solstice is halfway back!
Solstice was today at 0505 EST.
Enjoy!

We did, too. Nice sunrise lighting up the Elk Horns, but weather didn’t let us see the ISS.

We celebrated early this morning outside on the deck.
We saw the ISS pass over this morning from the deck and saw the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn this evening. It made for a great Winter Solstice.

Craig, you can still see Jupiter/Saturn for a while yet.
They will just get a little further away until they are
lost in the sunset.
They are setting about an hour and half after the sun.
