Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Stars . ... Space Flight . ... Some 13.7 billion years ago, a mere millionth of a second after the Big Bang, the first hydrogen and helium nuclei condensed out of a hot, dense soup of quarks and gluons. ... In the very last few kilometres some of the light was scattered by a myriad of water droplets (containing hydrogen nuclei which had existed almost since the Big Bang) slowly descending through the air following a rainshower. ...

The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
