Winter Solstice
December 20 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
THE WINTER SOLSTICE IS COMING!
The shortest day of the year is coming up! This day marks the turning point from the days getting shorter to days getting longer. Due to the Earth’s axial tilt, the northern hemisphere is at its farthest point from the sun at the winter solstice. The Maturango Museum plans to celebrate this turning point on Saturday, December 20th, from 11 am to 2 pm, near the time of the winter solstice. A winter collage card craft will be provided, and members from the China Lake Astronomical Society may be on hand with their solar scopes, allowing the public to view the sun safely. Join us!
