Summer Solstice at the Griffith Park Observatory



Did you know that Solstice means sun stands still? Huh? Did ya? Well it does. This device marks the sun at around noon every day. The winter solstice would be on the other end, all the way up towards the top, because the sun would be much lower in the sky. But this one marks the sun at its zenith. That's as opposed to it's nadir, you nerds.
