Winter officially begins TONIGHT! At 11:30 pm the sun will be directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is about 23.5° south of the Equator. Here are some of the things this means:
1. This is our shortest day of the year as far as daylight goes.
2. It's the 1st day of winter.
3. It's the 1st day of summer in the southern Hemisphere.
4. The North Pole is in the middle of a 6 month stretch of darkness!
