    The December Solstice marks the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the south. When viewed from northern latitudes, the Sun will make its lowest arc through the sky along the southern horizon. So in the north, the Solstice day has the shortest length of time between sunrise and sunset and fewest hours of daylight. This striking composite image follows the Sun's path through the December Solstice day of 2005 in a beautiful blue sky, looking down the Tyrrhenian Sea coast from Santa Severa toward Fiumicino, Italy. The view covers about 115 degrees in 43 separate, well-planned exposures from sunrise to sunset. an amazing "untethered space walk" image http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0709/freeflyer_nasa_big.jpg antwrp.gsf c.nasa.gov/apod/ap070918.html [nasa.gov] Volcano Tungurahua erupted spectacularly last year. Pictured above, molten rock so hot it glows visibly pours down the sides of the 5,000-meter high Tungurahua, while a cloud of dark ash is seen being ejected toward the left. Wispy white clouds flow around the lava-lit peak, while a star-lit sky shines in the distance. The above image was captured last year as ash fell around the adventurous photographer. Located in Ecuador, Tungurahua has become active roughly every 90 years since for the last 1,300 years. Volcano Tungurahua has started erupting again this year and continues erupting at a lower lever even today. http://www.summitpost.org/images/original/333708.JPG http://antwrp.gs fc.nasa.gov/apod/ap051002.html http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070922.html beautiful aurora antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0711/aurora_mcvay.jpg [nasa.gov]
