This Saturday, June 21, at 2 hours 42 minutes UTC, according to calculations by the National Astronomical Observatory, the summer solstice will occur, a phenomenon in which the Sun reaches its maximum declination projecting its light over the maximum geographic latitude on Earth. This astronomical event starts the summer in the northern hemisphere and the winter in the southern hemisphere. In addition, the day of the summer solstice corresponds to the longest day of the year, since it is the day on which the Sun rises the earliest and the day on which it sets the latest.
