Summer Solstice at Griffith Observatory - Local Noon | June 20, 2021

This program is made possible in part by Griffith Observatory Foundation. Join in support of Griffith Observatory and its programs.

Earth experiences four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. This happens because our planet is tipped on its axis and the two poles point to the same directions in space all year. Summer occurs on the hemisphere that is tipped toward the Sun. The hemisphere tilted away from the Sun experiences winter.

All Space Considered is Griffith Observatory’s live science program that is free and open to the public, held the first Friday of every month.
