The Solstice is Thursday evening at 5:22 PM Mountain Time (7:22 Eastern, 4:22 Pacific). The sun begins its six-month trek north at that time.
Don’t forget your science homework this week. As the sun sets Thursday, take note of its direction in relation to neighborhood landmarks — trees, other houses, water towers, what have you. Write it down, make a diagram, or take a photo. Compare and contrast with your notes from June 21st and September 23rd.
