A Voyage through Stonehenge and the Solstices

Listen in as we journey to the heart of the English countryside to unravel the mysteries of Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument that has captured human curiosity for centuries. We discuss its fascinating alignment with the solstices, a testament to the sophisticated understanding of the sun's yearly cycle by our ancestors. Whether it was a temple, a burial ground or a celestial observatory, Stonehenge's alignment with the solstices underscores a deep connection with celestial movements

It's a compelling reminder of humanity's timeless fascination with the cosmos and our perpetual quest to understand our place within the vast universe.

Join us as we reflect on the significance of the solstices, celestial events marked by the longest and shortest days of the year. We shed light on the scientific explanation of these phenomena caused by the Earth's tilt and orbit around the sun. From the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, to the winter solstice, the shortest day, we explore how these events have been significant in human culture for thousands of years. From ancient rituals and celebrations to modern-day festivals, the solstices have a universal message of hope and renewal. As we approach the winter solstice, we invite you to find peace in the passing darkness, a symbol of the cyclical nature of time and seasons, and look forward to the promise of longer days and the rebirth of spring.
