Tomorrow you can watch a live video of the Sun shining down the tunnel of the burial mound in Newgrange Ireland as it crosses the Solstice.
The video cast starts at 18:30 EST. 17:30 EDST 06:30 pm Queensland time.

Tonight is the shortest night this year, Hobart gets about 4 hours of darkness and Brisbane about 7 hours. (using astronomical twilight times)
