The precise moment of the 2007 solstice will be Sat., Dec. 21, 11:08 P.M. MST according to one of my Google searches. Eastern time would make that 1:08 AM Dec 22nd.
But let’s not quibble about the hours and minutes here. Today it is overcast so I am glad I took this photo of the sun and its relationship to my horizon yesterday, December the 21st. I took this picture at high noon. Now you all know how long our shadows are up here in the north even though that’s the highest we will see the sun for a while!
