It's Winter Solstice 2014!  Whilst the pagans in UK celebrate the solstice in Stonehenge, let's see why during solstice, the sun stands still. There are a lot of explanations for this, but to make it simple; it's basically the Earth's axis tilting according to its orbit. You might be familiar with this, seeing scaled presentations of the earth being tipped by 23.5 degrees. As the earth goes around the Sun, the northern part of the Earth's axis is always pointed closely to the Polaris in the sky.

In a way, it is more accurate to call it "The December Solstice...
