solstice

For a provocateur like Aster, who has made a name for himself decapitating teenagers and giving audiences a front row seat to ritual solstice suicides, peak COVID-era chaos almost seems like low-hanging fruit.

This is the southern winter solstice, the shortest day in their location, more than 1,000 miles south of the southern tip of South America.

“Student killed on solstice may have been sacrificed,” read the Daily News.

Ten days later on 21 June, it is the summer solstice, the day of the year in the northern hemisphere with most daylight.

The sun reaches the highest point in the sky and therefore its peak strength during June – especially around the summer solstice.
