Winter Solstice In Mexico
The moon is being viewed through LED lights as the winter solstice begins in Mexico, an astronomical event that takes place twice annually on Earth, altering the length of the days.
NASA explains that this occurs because of the Earth's rotation axis, which is tilted at an angle of 23.4 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing the sun's rays to be distributed unevenly between the northern and southern hemispheres. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
