With Earth's South Pole tilting toward the sun and its away-tilted North Pole, the Dec. 21, 2024, solstice simultaneously opes the astronomical seasons of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The December solstice in 2024 is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024, 4:21 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the Northern Hemisphere. The Earth-wide astronomically seasonal event takes place at 09:21 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the Earth's primary time standard, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory, Astronomical Applications Department's "Earth Seasons -- Equinoxes and Solstices -- 2023-2026," published on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service website. The solstice happens on Saturday, Dec. 21, for all 14 times zones (UTC+1 through UTC+14) lying east of UTC. It occurs Saturday, Dec. 21, for the first nine (UTC-1 through UTC-9) of the 12 time zones west of UTC. It takes place on Friday, Dec. 20, for the last three (UTC-10 through UTC-12) of the 12 times zones west of UTC, according to "Time Zone Converter -- Time Difference Calculator (Classic)," published on the Time and Date website.

A positive UTC offset, indicated as UTC+1 through UTC+14, references time zones east of UTC. A negative UTC offset, designated as UTC-1 through UTC-12, signifies time zones west of UTC. Time zones east of UTC are ahead of UTC. Time zones west of UTC lag behind UTC.

The December solstice complements the year's June solstice with respect to the astronomical seasons of summer and winter. The December solstice reverses the June solstice's hemispheric seasonal openings. Accordingly, the December solstice signals astronomical winter in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The involvement of "some imaginary lines on our planet" answers the question "But what is the solstice exactly?" asked by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory web producer, editor and writer Jessica Stoller-Conrad in "What Is a Solstice?" on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) SciJinks website. Earth's axis of rotation, the equator and "special" tropical latitudinal circles of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere associate with the year's two solstices.

Each of the two solstices specifies its own tropical latitudinal circle. The June solstice connects with the Northern Hemisphere's Tropic of Cancer. December's solstice links with the Southern Hemisphere's Tropic of Capricorn. The sun's directly overhead placement at high noon, i.e., 12:00 p.m., characterizes each solstice's respective circle of latitude. Accordingly, the sun sits directly above the Tropic of Cancer on the June solstice and directly above the Tropic of Capricorn on the December solstice.

These two imaginary circles demarcate, respectively, the northernmost and southernmost latitudes experiencing a directly overhead sun at high noon during the sun's two annual crossings above the equator. Solstices (Latin: sol, "sun" + sistere, "to stand still") represent the stops of directly overhead placements in the sun's northward and southward equatorial crossings. "Outside the tropic zones, whether to the south or north, the sun is never directly overhead," explains Jessica Stoller-Conrad.

The year's two solstices participate in the openings of Earth's astronomical seasons with the year's two equinoxes, which occur in March and September. The March equinox announces astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. September's equinox introduces astronomical autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

Three-month intervals distinguish the annual lineup of equinoxes and solstices. Accordingly, the year's first equinox appears in the Gregorian calendar's third month, March. Three months later, as the year's sixth month, June initiates the year's first solstice. After three months, the year's second equinox takes place in the year's ninth month, September. Three months later, as the year's 12th month, December closes the annual lineup with the year's second and final solstice.

In 2024, the schedule of the December solstice's three predecessors began with the March equinox's happening Tuesday, March 19, at 11:06 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and Wednesday, March 20, at 03:06 UTC. March's successor, the June solstice, took place Thursday, June 20, at 4:51 p.m. EDT and at 20:51 UTC. September's equinox occurred Sunday, Sep. 22, at 8:44 a.m. EDT and at 12:44 UTC.

Death at the Sanatorium Avails Us of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye

Summary: Death at the Sanatorium, from Hvítidauði by Ragnar Jónasson, avails us of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye series on Icelandic television in 1983.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

King Leopardi (Michael Billington) abandons custom-made, name-adorned pajamas as hotel-bed attire for yellow silk pajamas as private-home bedroom attire. He abides in a female bedroom, perhaps in female attire altered by a female-acquired gun aimed accurately at its front. Perhaps that attire alikens the yellow pajamas, from that same 1930, 1930s time, in the advertisement above; "À la mer toutes les femmes élégantes portent des pyjamas en cretonne 'Lisières Fleuries,'" advertisement in Le Jardin des Modes (1930, page 366) for Parisian textile and wallpaper designer and manufacturer Paul Dumas, 9 rue Saint-Fiacre, 2nd arrondissement (le IIe arrondissement de Paris), Rive droite (right bank of the Seine), central Paris, Île-de-France region, north-central France: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Death at the Sanatorium: A Mystery, Anglicized by Victoria Cribb from Icelandic Hvítidauði (“White Death”) by Ragnar Jónasson, avails us of the Philip Marlowe, Private Eye series on Icelandic television in 1983.

Elísabet (“God [is perfect, plentiful] seven”), by 1983, becomes a television viewer of the Unitedstatesian television series Dallas, perhaps from its beginnings Sunday, April 2, 1978. The Akureyri-centered Reykjavíkingur (from Old Norse akr eyrr, “cornfield gravel-bank”; reykr vík -ingr, “smoke bay inhabitant”) considers the Philip Marlowe series commenced Saturday, April 16, 1983. Episode 1, The Pencil, by director Peter R. Hunt and writer Jo Eisinger, dramatizes the short story by Raymond Thornton Chandler (Jul 23, 1888-Mar 26, 1959).

That episode entertains or enthralls Elísabet enough that she evaluates this new series as “very promising” (Death:76) and perhaps expects equally to esteem the second episode.

The King in Yellow, by director Bryan Forbes and Jesse L. Lasky, Jr., for Saturday, April 23, 1983, films a Dime Detective-featured story from March 1938.

King Leopardi (Michael Billington) gets to the trumpet-blowing tops of music charts even as he goes after all girls, not all of whose love he gains. Hollywood radio station KPRC has among night-owl programming midnight through 2:00 a.m. Lonely Town singing by Dolores Chiozza (Lise Hilboldt) and its trumpeting by Chicagoan Leopardi. Leopardi that night inhabits room 2-15, not the penthouse suite, of Carlton Hotel, whose owner, Jumbo Walters (Peter Frye), intends him imminently for his Club Shalotte.

Death at the Sanatorium by Ragnar Jónasson jubilates a west-coast detective journeying from short stories by Raymond Chandler to the television series Philip Marlowe, Private Eye.

Hired house detective Philip Marlowe, from kicking trumpeter Leopardi out at 1:25 a.m., knows about a $10,000 or kill note “by tomorrow night” against the latter.

Dolores lasts personally and professionally by living less loudly than Leopardi and by logging at Café Shalotte such lilting laments as Where did that dream go? She later meets Marlowe at her residence after mentioning by telephone call about moving Leopardi from her bedroom before her maid materializes there the next morning. Leopardi in yellow silk pajamas nestled, before show end around 2:00 a.m., in her bed, where someone else nullified him forever with Dolores’ San Francisco-gifted gun.

Death at the Sanatorium offers us, in 1983, Philip Marlowe, Private Eye, whose people and place names occur in Hollywood and other neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

Marlowe peregrinates to 21-86 Royal Apartments, Courtly Hill, Hollywood and, after lock-picking, perceives that renter and screen extra Miss Kitty Delorme (Nancy Wood) perished from strangling.

He, Detective Baker (Jim Dunk) and Lieutenant Victor Magee (William Kearns) quest Dolores about the crime scene in her bedroom even as Marlowe then questions Jumbo. Marlowe then rides over to the Crestline cabin of former stunt man Gaff Talley (John Alderson), brother of fellow Carlton Hotel employee George Millar (Marc Smith). The latter two siblings share a sorrowful sadness stemming from their relative, Eve Millar, Jumbo’s off-and-on girlfriend and singer, suiciding herself in Carlton Hotel room 2-15.

Death at the Sanatorium tells us about the televised series Philip Marlowe, Private Eye, whose second episode terminates with Dolores torch-singing The end of my rainbow.

An accommodating cabin perhaps alikening those of such Crestline weekenders as the owner of the million-dollar mansion above and an abundant fishing foray allure Philip Marlowe (Powers Boothe). Marlowe finally allows himself that ambiance albeit just to approach George Millar (Marc Smith) and his Crestline cabin owner, ex-stuntman, fellow Carlton Hotel employee and sibling Gaff Millar Talley (John Alderson) about their relative, singer Eve Millar, and about associated casualties such as King Leopardi (Michael Billington) and Kitty Delorme (Nancy Wood); "When I saw this scene I thought about man's search for contentment. Some find it when fishing from a boat on the lake. Others find it in a million dollar mansion above the water," Saturday, April 11, 2015, 10:16, image, Lake Gregory reservoir, Crestline, San Bernardino Mountains, San Bernardino County, Southern California: inkknife_2000 (7.5 million views +), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en, via Wikimedia Commons
