COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun reaches its northernmost point in Earth's sky today, marking the summer solstice. If you could block out the scattered sunlight, you would see the Sun surrounded by the stars of Taurus and Gemini, as captured in this composite image. This view helps us understand the Sun's position along the ecliptic plane.
