Happy summer solstice! ☀️
Whether you’re marking the solstice, enjoying a yoga session for International Yoga Day or listening to your favourite tune for World Music Day, 21 June invites us all to pause, soak in the sunlight and tune in to what makes us feel alive.
This year’s solstice happened at exactly 04:42 AM CEST, the moment the Sun reached its northernmost point in the sky.
Seen from space, Earth puts on quite the show. These views capture a full year of shifting light and shadow, from one June solstice to the next.
At this point in our orbit, the day–night line (known as the terminator) is tilted at its most dramatic angle. The Northern Hemisphere gets its longest day of the year, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences its shortest.
So whether you’re basking in the glow or curling up in the dusk, we wish you a happy solstice — and a moment to breathe, move and groove.
