Somehow the longest night of the year still ended at 5 am 🤔🤷‍♀️

Happy Solstice! 😊🌄

Solstice postcards should be a thing. I bet people who celebrate Yule/Solstice/Saturnalia get a lot fewer festive postcards...

Solstice thought:

I've always thought it was awesome that long before any technology for astronomical observation, our ancestors figured out, through observation only, that the movement of the Earth on its axis made certain times of year the peak of its curve, and other times the center of the transit. And that at both the peaks (solstices) and centers (equinoxes) everyone went "Woo!" and built fires and held festivals.
