I know, most of you are thinking "what an idiot, 'Happy New Year?' he must live under a rock burried in the sand at the bottom of the ocean under some kind of shipwreck that's got him stuck there," but this is not the case!

Today at 1:52 East Coast time is when the Earth is closest to the Sun!

The Solstice last December is when the Earth started to wobble back on its axis, which is what most celebrate as when the days start getting longer, and that's true, but today(tomorrow, just)is when we start getting farther away from the Sun. So...Happy New Year!
