Re: Summer Solstice 2008 at Stonehenge by Anonymous on Wednesday, 16 July 2008

Splitting hairs here aren't we? June 21st is the calendar 'longest day' adjusted to coincide as closely as possible with the summer solstice which (if we are being pedantic) is not actually the day on which the sun rises the earliest and sets the latest. None of this is of any significance to Stonehenge which is NOT aligned on the summer solstice, never was and never will be! Take a look at the Stonehenge Postcard and you will see (I think it is the 4th clip) how the axis is way off the position of the summer solstice sunrise.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
