The Summer Solstice Is Here!

Today — June 20, 2024 — is the northern summer solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the longest day of the year and the official start to summer.

We experience changing day lengths throughout the year because Earth rotates on a tilted axis as it goes around the Sun. This means during half of the year the North Pole tilts toward the Sun and in the other half it points away.

Solstices occur twice per year, when Earth’s poles are tilted closest to and farthest from the Sun.

The summer solstice is an important day for cultures around the world, especially at latitudes near the North Pole. Indigenous peoples have long marked the summer solstice with dancing and celebrations. Farmers have relied on the solstice to determine when to plant crops. The solstice’s timing also influenced the development of some calendars, like the ancient Roman calendar and the modern Gregorian calendar.

To mark the beginning of summer, here are four ways you can enjoy the Sun and the many wonders of space this season:

1. Check out the “Strawberry Moon”

June is the month of the Strawberry Moon. This name originates with the Algonquin tribes. June is when strawberries are ready for harvest in the northeastern United States, where the Algonquin people traditionally live. The full Strawberry Moon this year happens tomorrow night — June 21, 2024. Grab a pair of binoculars to see it in detail.

2. Celebrate the Heliophysics Big Year!

During the Heliophysics Big Year, we are challenging you to participate in as many Sun-related activities as you can. This month’s theme is performance art. We’re looking at how various kinds of performance artists are moved by the Sun and its influence on Earth. For example, check out this Sun song!

Find out how to get involved here: https://science.nasa.gov/sun/helio-big-year/.

3. Listen to a space-cast

NASA has a ton of great space podcasts. Take a listen to Curious Universe’s Here Comes the Sun series to learn all about our closest star, from how it causes weather in space, to how you can help study it! For even more podcasts, visit our full list here: https://www.nasa.gov/podcasts.

4. Make sunspot cookies

The Sun sometimes has dark patches called sunspots. You can make your own sunspots with our favorite cookie recipe. Real sunspots aren’t made of chocolate, but on these sunspot cookies they are. And they're delicious.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

Solstice, the bastard

[eddwardharrison]

Hey! Edd what if ruin, eclipse and dark sun fuse in your au that you have

-nerd anon-

I got nerdy making this…

Made a whole new character with this UGH!! I have a bunch of background concepts and lore for him, so here you go! He also does NOT have a name right now…I’ve had a few ideas, “Aftermath”, “Apocalypse”, even just ��The Statue”, but I haven’t fully decided on one. So suggestions are welcomed!

• The flowers are bioluminescent alien plants that feast on dead things, but are not called Fungi for the lack of education behind them.

• The Statue is…a statue, but more of a reverse-weeping angel. He is not able to move or speak until someone looks at him face-to-face.

• He used to be a real person, but was cursed by The Astrals after digging in to deep to the study of Stars and ended up coming in contact one.

• He still has a huge fascination with Stars and Astrology alike, there’s a glass roof where his Garden is kept. He is normally looking up at it in his statue pose, often in a ‘worship-like’ position, hands extended out towards the sky.

• CRIPPLING abandonment issues. Instead of actually having friends, he plans to murder people by turning them into stone so that they never leave his enclosure. Forced friendship! Yay! (You can see some of the bodies encased in stone buried in the garden or even standing like decoration. They are never enough.)

• Ruin gives him his charm, speaking patterns, flowers, glasses, and “half-rays”. Solstice gives his patience, cleverness, acting, necklace, and thorns. Eclipse gives him his outbursts, irrationality, death obsession, star obsession, abandonment/isolation phobias, insults, and lava-based attributes.

• In this make-shift comic, Dazzle is a living hybrid.

• The “feather boa” around him is actually a bunch of dead grass.

• He is completely immobile due to the way his legs are fused together in the stone form, they have then been crowded by flowers and vines since, making it extra-impossible to move.

• …Theoretically, this is one of those characters you could say “I can fix him” and actually do it. He’s not a terrible guy, he just has a short fuse.

Also my AU’s don’t really differ from the OG’s…so I just drew the OG’s fusing (though they’re based off my designs!) The only one I could question altering this form because of different designs would be the Chess AU…that I haven’t…posted…yet…🤔😋

They’d talk so much shit change my mind.

This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar

SO YESTERDAY I DECIDED TO REMAKE THE THUMBNAIL AND UH HERE

[justaz]

BIG fan of two sides of the same coin running incredibly hot and the other running incredibly cold.

people who brush hands with merlin wincing bc holy fuck that was like touching ice and merlin just smiles and wanders off. he’s like a cat, he likes to lounge in the sun and soak up the heat. he’s always been a huge fan of summer bc it was the time when the sun was out the most and there were rarely storms or clouds to block out the heat. he like farming with him mom bc of this bc he got to spend time with her while being in the sun. he never tanned tho. for some reason. he always remained as pale as the snow.

the knights are training during a hot summer day and merlin is cleaning a blade so he’s taken off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves so they don’t get dirty. gwaine wanders over to grab and drink and makes conversation with merlin and nudges his arm and pauses before placing his hands on his arm. he looks up at merlin who is staring at him in confusion. gwaine asks if he’s feeling alright and merlin’s like ?? yeah?? and gwaine just keeps touching him bc fuck its hot out today and merlin is freezing cold to the touch despite sotting in the sun and it’s offering him a bit of relief. arthur ofc barks and gwaine to get back to training and he forces himself to leave. he does make a note to cuddle up to merlin when it gets too hot bc merlin can definitely make him feel better.

no one really touches arthur as he’s the crown prince and all his servants did their best to not touch him directly and if they did it was really quick and professional. gaius always had a hard time figuring when arthur would get a fever bc he always ran hot so it always felt like he had a fever. arthur loved winter bc the snow and cool temperature. his nursemaids and servants would insist on bundling him up but often times arthur would just tear it off when he was outside, he never froze or got sick from it either.

when arthur takes the knights out on an expedition during winter and they’re all bundled up and shivering while arthur is just enjoying the cool air. merlin is shivering the most tho despite being wrapped in about fifty layers of fabric so arthur sheds his cape and hands it to merlin who wraps it around himself with a slight gasp and comment about how its so warm. the knights start a bidding war about who gets to sleep next to arthur when they stop to rest. it doesn’t matter who won. they all just piled on/around arthur and steal his warmth. merlin resides in the middle though bc he’s the coldest so arthur was willing to offer all his warmth to him while the rest stole it.

after they get married, merthur cuddle all night. merlin is freezing and arthur is burning so merlin cools arthur down while arthur warms merlin up. it’s an equal exchange. they’re also touching all the time no matter the temperature. if its summer and most people think its too hot to so much as be looked at? arthur has an arm up merlin’s tunic and wrapped around his waist cooling down while merlin is stealing him warmth. in winter, merlin is the koala and is stealing arthur’s warmth which he doesn’t mind bc merlin’s touch just reminds him of his favorite season.

How do you feel about that version of Sun who killed his Moon in today's TSAMS episode?

I think this is what Solstice wanted.

There's clearly some sort of ripple effect happening, where Suns are hating their Moons and taking action. Solstice wants every Sun to share his ideals, and he set everything up to reach this point.

It's why he recruited Nexus, it's why he let the others bring Moon back. He did all of this for our Sun, and for every Sun out there.

Solstice said it wouldn't have mattered if it was Nexus or Moon who died, he still got the data he needed because both were terrible people at one point in their lives.

And with recent events, I worry that Moon's retreating and isolating will have negative consequences and ruin the relationship with Sun he's trying to rebuild.

HES JUST AN EMO VERSION OF SUN YOUR HONOR.

“Unforseen Consequences In VRCHAT” (goofy add-on.)

This quip is in fact based off the 2010 Alice in Wonderland live action!! The Mad Hatter so PERFECTLY fits Ruin, I couldn’t help it. UGH THIS EPISODE DARK SUN CALLED HIMSELF ‘SOLSTICE’ AND WAS LIKE “NAMES SUCK. JUST CALL ME SUN IDIOT????” AND IT MADE ME EXPLODE!! But also giggle because thats the second time me and my bestie have snuck that name into the show. mwahahah 😈😈😈 guys use hashtag # solsticeisthebetternameuseitnowpleasepleaseplease2024 (DON’T ACTUALLY DO THAT IM JOKING.) I call him Solstice and he will be Solstice forever in my heart, but I EQUALLY love the fact that he’s just so…original?? He prefers just being a Sun, he doesn’t WANT a new identity, he wants to be seen for what he is and what suns can become— and in a way, he’s a Sun Liberator. Which is…insanely cool.

also the fact Ruin is his own person and not a sun or moon makes me..so happy.
