Rare Christmas Star is seen in Wyoming skies

Thanks to earth's tilt on its axis people recently experienced the Winter Solstice! The solstice happened on Monday, December 21st and this marks the official astrological first day of winter.

When the solstice rolls around, its the shortest day of the year. This event happens once in December for the northern hemisphere and once in June for the southern hemisphere. Meaning, while it is our winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is in their summer solstice and vice versa.
