Celebrating the Summer Solstice with a Global Lens at the EOC 

June marks the official start of summer – and one of the most fascinating astronomical events of the year: the summer solstice. This annual milestone happens when Earth’s tilt is at its maximum toward the sun, giving the Northern Hemisphere its longest day and shortest night of the year. This year, the summer solstice arrives on June 20th at 3:50 p.m. CDT.

Endangered Species found in the Edwards Aquifer System

Endangered Species Day, observed annually on the third Friday in May, is a national call to reflect on the plants and animals at risk of disappearing forever. It encourages awareness, and education to protect endangered and threatened species—not only for their uniqueness, but for the essential roles they play in maintaining healthy, functioning ecosystems.In Central Texas, some of the world’s rarest endangered species live hidden beneath our feet, deep within the Edwards Aquifer and its spring systems.
