COSMIC MESSAGE
Today marks the Solstice, when the Sun reaches its northernmost declination. For the northern hemisphere, this signifies the beginning of Summer, while the southern hemisphere enters Winter. This seasonal change is primarily due to the tilt of Earth's axis of rotation, not a change in our planet's distance from the Sun. The image shows a sunset over Zimbabwe, capturing the end of a day as the Earth continues its tilted journey around the Sun.
