21st December - Winter Solstice
The December solstice happens at the same instant for everyone, everywhere on Earth – and this year the solstice occurs tomorrow, on Thursday December 21st at 16:28 GMT.
The winter solstice happens every year when the Sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the Sun, delivering the fewest hours of sunlight of the year.
Richmond Camera club will be back in the New Year with more events and entertaining evenings starting off with an Adobe Photoshop post processing evening with Sylvia Slavin ARPS.
