Definition of Solstice according to Wikipedia: “Solstices occur twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most oriented towards or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost and southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, its apparent movement north or south comes to a standstill.” Enjoy your summer solstice this year with a backyard BBQ and all your favorite friends!
