Taurus, the Bull, is an ancient zodiacal constellation located on the ecliptic between Gemini and Aries. The constellation of Taurus is the current location of the June solstice. This is the point in the sky where the Sun is farthest north from the celestial equator, usually occurring around June 21. On this day, the Sun is highest in the sky at local solar noon for the northern hemisphere of Earth marking their first day of summer, and lowest in the sky for the southern hemisphere marking their first day of winter. This is also the longest day of the year for the northern hemisphere and shortest day of the year for the southern hemisphere. | |
