Solstice tomorrow brings out the Tweets

In case you were unaware, Winter Solstice is tomorrow. This year the date also corresponds with a full moon and lunar eclipse. Depending on whom you ask this particular confluence of astronomical events with the shortest day of the year hasn't happened fore more than 400 years.
More than 1.5 billion people will be able to view the lunar eclipse and with today's global army of digital image gatherers, we will no doubt have plenty of cool photos to look at tomorrow....
This might be why #Solstice is a Trending Topic on Twitter.

@stilllifeangie Full moon. Lunar Eclipse. Winter Solstice. Remembering Lucia Paz two years after her death. Sad, cold, magical and dark feels appropriate.
