Today is the official start of summer, and it’s also the day we get the most sunlight.
The summer solstice will occur Saturday afternoon at 4:44 p.m. CDT, at which point the sun’s path will stop moving northward in the sky.
That means our days will begin to shorten and we’ll gradually see less sunlight.
This year, some parts of the world will see a rare solstice annular solar eclipse, where the sun is partially blocked by the moon.
Unfortunately, it won’t be visible to us in North America.
