Summer Solstice

For the Northern Hemisphere, yesterday marked the Summer Solstice, which has the maximum amount of possible sunlight. For the Southern Hemisphere, the day marked the Winter Solstice, which has least amount of sunlight. To celebrate the occasion, NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day offered a brilliant image of the Sun rising behind the Parthenon in Greece.
