Today, Dec 21st, marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Bundle up, breathe deep, and honor the quiet magic of winter. After the solstice, sunsets begin getting later, even though mornings stay dark a little while longer.

If you'd like to learn a little more about the winter stars visible in this season, read the "What's Overhead!" column by Randy Hodges at the Community Observatory in our Winter Issue of Around Here Magazine.
