Hi everyone,
Winter solstice marks the longest night and the shortest day of the year.
Every year scores of people go to the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge in Wiltshire in England. They arrive at night to witness the sunrise. Stonehenge  is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument. Archeologist think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC.

Hi everyone,
Today is the first day of autumn. The autumn equinox usually falls 22 or 23 September but in 1931 it fell on 24 September.
The word Equinox is derived from Latin, meaning equal night, although days are still longer.
Google has created a new animated doodle on its homepage to mark the occasion. It shows a little squirrel hiding behind some autumnal squashes.
