Today marks the #WinterSolstice ❄️

This illustrated page, ‘Erde und Sonne’, from a German atlas by Justus Perthes (c.1910), shows how Earth’s tilt and orbit create the solstices, equinoxes and seasons.

Close-up of a circular diagram showing the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. A label marks the Winter Solstice, explaining that it occurs when the North Pole tilts furthest from the Sun, creating the shortest day and longest night. Diagram showing the Earth’s 23.5° axial tilt in relation to its orbit around the Sun. Overlaid text explains that this tilt causes the changing seasons, noting that without it there would be no summer or winter. Section of the orbit diagram focusing on the position of Earth on 21 March, marking the Spring Equinox. Overlaid text explains that day and night are equal at this point and that medieval scholars associated it with the first days of Creation. Section of the orbit diagram highlighting March 25, known as Lady Day. Overlaid text explains that it was once considered the first day of the year until 1751 and marks the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, nine months before Christmas.

A picturesque winter landscape is seen before a dark but busy sky. A stream and a house are visible in the foreground, while snow-capped mountains are seen on the far horizon. In the sky are many stars and many streaks caused by meteors. Also some red gaseous nebulas are visible in the sky. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

The environment flows through our bodies, altering our trajectories in ways medicine is just starting to see. "Your 'environment' could be the refinery a town over, the lead in the paint of your mother’s home, the plastic sheath of a Hot Pocket you microwaved in 1996." www.wired.com/story/scient...

The term "blimp" was coined on this day in 1915. It's an onomatopoeic word whose coinage can be traced to when Royal Naval Air Service Lt. A. D. Cunningham playfully flicked a finger against the envelope of SS 12 at the Capel air station, then mimicked the sound it made.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor was also one of those typical, completely traumatic children's films of the 1980s, right from the very first scene. 😁

Star Trek: First Contact was released 29 years ago today.

We'll be soon halfway between the film's release and First Contact Day (2063). 😄

#WienFaktzumTag: Am 18.11.1978 wurde die Verlängerung der U1 vom Karlsplatz zum Stephansplatz feierlich eröffnet.

Das Besondere an der Station Stephansplatz: Obwohl der endgültige Verlauf der U3 damals noch nicht feststand, wurde die spätere U3-Station gleich miterrichtet. #WienFakt
