WE MAKE THE TURN

At 12:11 p.m. EST on December 21, the sun appears directly overhead along the Tropic of Capricorn, at 23.5 degrees south latitude. 

With the Earth’s north pole at its maximum tilt from the sun, locations north of the equator see the sun follow its lowest and shortest arc across the southern sky. 






For the next six months, the days again grow longer as the sun spends more time above the       horizon.

       

                                       More light, what a glory!!
