Happy Solstice

[mckitterick]

According to my Hubble Space Telescope calendar, Winter Solstice started at 8:42am this morning (Central time) and runs through tomorrow at sunrise.

According to the Naval Observatory, Winter Solstice occurs precisely at 2:35pm Central this afternoon.

Happy Solstice to all!

Hugs,
Chris

So looking at this calendar, can you tell which is Longest Night?

Blessings to you and yours for the Solstice :)

I think that the longest night is our Tuesday night.

Tried using it, but I'm more used to: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/longest_day.html
and

The U.S. Naval Obs. is my fave .mil website

A new level of "close enough for government work."

Due to the Naval Observatory's whole job being getting astro things right, I'll judge when Soltice occurs by their measure. Therefore, Longest Night should be tonight... by a hair!
