The summer solstice is a celebration that dates back thousands of years. There are those who surmise that mystical places, such as Stonehenge, were built specifically because of the summer solstice. On that day, for example, the sun projects directly over the Heel Stone at Stonehenge and shines directly on the Altar Stone.

¡El verano ya está aquí!

Eb la Península Ibérica el verano de 2018 comenzará el 21 de junio a las 12h 7m hora oficial peninsular, según cálculos del Observatorio Astronómico Nacional (Instituto Geográfico Nacional - Ministerio de Fomento). Esta estación durará 93 días y 15 horas, y terminará el 23 de septiembre con el comienzo del otoño.

En cuanto a los planetas, Venus y Júpiter serán visibles al atardecer durante todo el verano. Marte comenzará la estación siendo visible al amanecer, a finales de julio será visible toda la noche, pasando a verse al atardecer al comienzo del mes de agosto. Saturno será visible durante toda la noche al principio del verano, pasando a ser visible al atardecer en el mes de julio.

Dos lluvias de meteoros destacan durante el verano. Las delta Acuáridas alcanzan su máximo ritmo alrededor del 30 de julio. Las populares Perseidas alcanzan su máximo alrededor del 12 de agosto. La casi coincidencia de este máximo con la luna nueva, que garantiza un cielo oscuro durante toda la noche, hacen que el 2018 sea un año excelente para observar las Perseidas.

World Book and Copyright Day

Tomorrow, April 23rd, the World Book and Copyright Day will be celebrated.

23 April is a symbolic date for world literature. It is on this date in 1616 that Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors, such as Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.

There are some links at the end of this post you can follow to learn more about these facts. 

Books are very important in our lives.

You can appreciate it watching the following video story by William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg "THE FANTASTIC FLYING BOOKS OF MR. MORRIS LESSMORE". It got the Best Animation Short Oscar in the 84th Edition (2012).

It's a hommage to a great book and to the cinema: The Wizard of Oz or Buster Keaton. They also show their love for books.

But today it's also Saint George, San Jorge (in Spanish) or Sant Jordin (in catalán).

Some of these celebrations have to do with the World Book Day, but there are some other activities as interesting as the following:
