Happy Winter Solstice, which will occur at 15:03 UTC (10:03 a.m. EST) today.
Today, earth's axis, which is currently tilted 23.44ยฐ from the plane of its orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic), will point away from the Sun.
It is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere; which means that days will keep getting longer starting tomorrow ๐ฅณ
