You Can Livestream the Summer Solstice From Stonehenge for the First Time Ever
One of the first landmarks of the ancient world to stump modern-day researchers is Stonehenge. This remarkable site full of mystery even has a slew of creation conspiracies involving aliens. Travelers from all over have surrounded and studied the unique stone structure since it was first discovered in the 17th century by John Aubrey, but it is most visited during a specific event—the summer solstice
The beginning mark of summer brings the largest number of visitors to this historic site each year, and in an effort to ensure social distancing is met, Stonehenge’s curators are planning on live streaming the momentous occasion on their social media accounts. English Heritage cares for a variety of historic places across England, and they’ve announced that they will video the famous Heel Stone as the sun rises behind it on June 21st at 4:52 a.m. BST.
