Pretty intuitive animation explaining seasons, equinox, solstice, length of day and night.

Today marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

I forgot, I also took one other shot last night! This was taken with the #dwarf3 's wide angle lens, and is only about 3 minutes of data.

It will look upside down for the Northern Hemisphere folks, but here we have all of #Orion or #Nyingarn (the echidna in #Noongar) in one frame.

A bit of light post-processing in Stellar Studio and #Snapseed.

And yeah, what this article doesn't mention is that changes in polar atmospheric circulation is due to #ClimateChange (link to study in comments)...

A #Stratospheric Warming event will Engulf the southern #PolarVortex, with possible far reaching Weather impacts

"A stratospheric warming event is about to unfold over the Southern Hemisphere, which is currently in its Winter season. The latest forecasts show strong temperature and pressure waves in the Stratosphere above the South Pole. These events are rare in the Southern Hemisphere but are usually very powerful and are known to have a global impact, potentially even on the upcoming northern Winter season.

"The Southern Hemisphere does not experience these winter stratospheric warming events so often, with only a few known events in the past decades."

LABOUM -- White Love

Another seasonal track from LABOUM.

Forgive me if I'm being dim here, but why is the tag for 2025? Is it because of the Twelve Days of Christmas extending into January ?

Question for you and all those in the southern hemisphere: does it feel odd having much of the Xmas decoration and celebration organized around the season of winter? Sorry, by the way, if I've asked you this before!
