News Summer Solstice Is Here - here's why it may be a strange day - GoFuckYourself.com

Bladewire · 06-19-2016, 10:16 AM

Full moon & Summer Solstice on the same day for the first time since 1967! Also the longest day with the strongest full moon in 70 years!

In the U.S. the summer solstice begins tomorrow, June 20th.

The summer solstice alone is iconic enough. It?s a day with a time-honored history rife with pagan celebrations and all things Stonehenge. But this year we get the big beautiful bonus of a full moon, which hits its peak on the same day. This hasn?t happened in 70 years.

The June full Moon was known as the Strawberry Moon to early Native American tribes, who measured time by things like the moon, rather than a grid on a piece of paper or an electronic device. The full moon that happened now marked the season of strawberries ? as it still does.

The 2016 North American summer solstice happens on June 20, 2016 at 5:34 p.m. CDT. That?s the very moment when, essentially, the sun stands still at its northernmost point as seen from Earth. Its zenith doesn?t yearn north or south, but waits patiently at the Tropic of Cancer before switching directions and heading south again.

At the June solstice, Earth is positioned in its orbit so that our world?s North Pole is leaning most toward the sun. As seen from Earth, the sun is directly overhead at noon 23 1/2 degrees north of the equator, at an imaginary line encircling the globe known as the Tropic of Cancer ? named after the constellation Cancer the Crab. This is as far north as the sun ever gets.

All locations north of the equator have days longer than 12 hours at the June solstice. Meanwhile, all locations south of the equator have days shorter than 12 hours.

strange already happened, in florida. a pop singer was shot in the face, a not-isis-according-to-liberals-muslim went nutter, & a nice pair of parents watched their child get eaten by a gator in the childrens paradise.

what more can you ask?
