2018 winter solstice

Today is the shortest day of the year.
The solstice this year will be extra special because it will be followed the next day by a full moon known as the Cold Moon, and you might be able to see a meteor shower to boot.

If you want to be super-precise in your observations, the exact time of the 2018 winter solstice will be 22:23 Universal Time. That would be 5:23 p.m. ET (for parts of Canada, the United States and Latin America). The website EarthSky has a handy conversion website for your time zone.

You only have 4 days till Christmas. Enjoy the season, spend the days with family and friends and be careful if you have to go out. I am looking forward to longer and warmer days.
