Happy solstice to all our readers!
The winter solstice this year occurs at 6am, on 22 December, 2007.
That is the time when the Earth’s North pole is pointing directly away from the Sun (which is why it is so much colder in the Northern hemisphere).
For people living in the Southern hemisphere, the South pole is pointing towards the Sun, making it summertime ‘down-under’!
