The Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and marks the beginning of a new season. As darkness encroaches in the northern hemisphere in the weeks leading up to December 21st, it can be hard to remember that it starts getting a little bit lighter everyday, soon after. Our infographic shares some solstice fun facts.

This year, the Winter Solstice officially occurs on Saturday, December 21st at 4:21AM EST.
