Happy Perihelion Day!

Each year in January, the Earth makes it's closest approach to the Sun. But that seems odd because it happens in the coldest and dreariest month of the year!So this episode will give an explanation of this unusual aspect of Earth's orbit. Towards the end, I also give an interesting bonus fact about the Sun's special place in the sky in the month of January.If you have any questions you'd like me to feature, connect with me on Instagram and Twitter @astrostephenson or on my website: www.astrostephenson.ca
