Comment on Tell HN: Happy Solstice

Comments

Weird observation: Even though the days are getting longer, sunrise is actually still getting later for a few days. It's just that sunset is getting later faster.

I think the instant of the Solstice this year is 17:47 UTC

In Los Angeles: 09:47

In New York: 12:47

In Melbourne: 04:47 on the 22nd

Edit: I've always wanted to take a picture of it, but I've never had a spare camera I can bolt down for a year...
