Enjoy a sunny day!
The days are getting longer, the fruit is getting sweeter, and the weather’s getting warmer. It’s summer, and this coming week we’ll experience the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, on June 21.
Solstice, which is taken from the Latin word “sun + stands still,” is the first official day of summer. In this city of sun bunnies, the days around solstice are just begging to be filled with outdoor activities. It would be a shame to waste even a drop of sunshine by hiding indoors!
We’re going to extend a challenge to you: spend as much of this weekend outdoors as you can.
Come join us Saturday or Sunday at 2 pm for “Culver City Exposed,” grab a bite with your scavenger hunt teammates on a downtown Culver City patio, go for a walk with your honey, or take an extra batch of goofy photos with your friends after you’ve conquered all our “photo challenges.”
The days are long and they’re full of promise! How much life can you live before the sun goes down?
Sunshine Facts:
The City of Los Angeles enjoys an average of 186 clear days per year, according to the Western Regional Climate Center. It’s the fourth sunniest city in the United States!
Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” gives us energy and helps build strong bones. The sun’s rays activate the provitamin form present in our skin, releasing Vitamin D into the blood.
It takes 50 million years for the energy produced at the core of the sun to reach it’s surface, so if the sun were to stop producing energy we wouldn’t notice for 50 million years!
Nicolaus Copernicus, an astronomer during the Renaissance, came up with the first comprehensive heliocentric cosmology — meaning he was the first scientist to conclude that the earth orbited the sun and not the other way around.
Plants turn toward their light source in order to get as much energy as they can. This is called “phototropism.”
Human beings turning toward the sun for energy is called “a lovely way to spend an afternoon.”
Yours with sunbeams,
