Re: Stonehenge Free Open Access for Summer Solstice 2012 by blingo on Saturday, 02 June 2012

Hi, don't get me wrong, but isn't the solstice on the 20th this year because of the leap year??

" Don't be fooled by the fact that during this period the summer solstice (almost) always occurred on 21 June. This is just a feature of the slow drift through the dates on a 400 year cycle mentioned above. The last time the solstice was not on this date was 1975 when it occurred on 22 June at 00.27 and in 2012 it will occur on 20 June at 23.09. For the dates in between the summer solstice will fall on 21 June. "

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