Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Today's picture is a fantastic shot of the sun at Stonehenge on the solstice.  I think the solstice is around this time of year so this is appropriate.  Did you know that if you lived on the equator, the solstice would be about as exciting as it is for the rest of us?  The solstice used to be exciting for cavemen probably because they lived in a time before anything fun was invented.  That's why they built Stonehenge and then once they invented something more fun, they left it in the middle of that field.  Modern people like to go to Stonehenge nowadays because we have so much fun stuff that its nice to pretend to be bored as shit.

Cavutto-

I am loving the new takes on your APOD's.  I think they are refreshing and great, kinda like the summer solstice, and I think it was yesterday!

I'm glad you like it!  Those old boring ones were really bad.  I was really starting to hate astronomy there.

I started to wonder if I should stab my eye with a pencil for excitement but than  I realized than I wouldn't be able to  see your APOD so decided against it!
