In celebration of the official start of winter today, we proudly present our humble thoughts on the importance of the Sun’s path through the sky as perceived by different cultures around the world. Although it barely seems worth mentioning today, in the past, solar events like the winter solstice were cause for great celebration, and even anticipation.
If you are interested in learning more about the celestial world above, and indeed all around us, come visit the Burke Baker Planetarium for an awesome show, or check out the George Observatory on the weekends, where docents will be your guides to the sky.
