Winter officially kicks off Wednesday (Dec. 21), which marks the December solstice the day with the fewest hours of sunlight of 2016. Although the solstice gets an entire day of recognition, it happens in an instant: at 5:44 a.m. EST (10:44 GMT), when the North Pole is at its farthest tilt of 23.5 degrees away from the sun. This position leaves the North Pole beyond the sun's reach, and plunges it into total darkness, according to EarthSky.org. http://www.livescience.com/57280-winter-solstice-science-ex
