Although we are not aware of it, we are continuously moving at one hundred and seven thousand kilometres per hour around the Sun. Every day we are 300 million kilometres away from where we were half a year ago. This movement of the Earth means that at each time of the year we see a different sky above our heads.
December, with its low temperatures, does not make it as easy to observe the stars and constellations as we do on summer nights, but we want to celebrate the rebirth of the Sun at the winter solstice and show you the constellations and stars that we cannot see at other times of the year. There are also shooting stars and planets that are just as interesting as in the summer months.
The proximity of the solstice and the shortest days of the year invites us to talk about some of the legends that inspired them and their scientific basis. These legends have had and still have deep roots and transcendence in our culture.
We invite you to discover the secrets of the winter sky.
