"Today's solstice marks the northernmost point of the Sun's annual motion through planet Earth's sky and the astronomical beginning of the northern hemisphere's summer. Around this time the Full Moon nearest the solstice rose close to the ecliptic plane opposite the Sun, near its southernmost point for the year."
