See it on NASA's siteThis composite image captures the Tyrrhenian Sea from space on the day of the December Solstice. On this day, the Sun reaches its southernmost point in Earth's sky. For the Northern Hemisphere, this means the shortest day and the beginning of winter. The Sun's low arc across the southern horizon is characteristic of this time.
