A brief respite from the Jesus Floor…
Faithful readers may remember my post about the Russian News Agency incorrectly referring to the “Dark Side of the Moon.” (No, not the music…) Well, here is another apparently common mis-perception. I say common because I have been told the local TV media made the same mistake.
So, dear readers… send me an email telling me what YOU think is wrong with this picture! (I really need to come up with a prize for this–guest spot on the next “Brothers” podcast perhaps?)
Well, I would think the thing that is wrong is that Thursday was the Summer Solstice not equinox. The difference being that a solstice is when the earth’s axis tilts the most toward or away from the sun. An equinox is where the sun can be observed directly over the equator.
It should say “Summer Solstice”
Am I allowed to answer? (Hint: It is seasonal, just wrong season.)
