After today things will get brighter...

Winter solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 4:47 PM on today, December 21 What happens in winter solstice? At the winter solstice the Sun travels the shortest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the least daylight and the longest night. When the winter solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted about 23.4° (23°27′), the farthest away from the Sun. This is called the northern winter solstice, and it is when we have the least amount of daylight of any time of the year.
