'Imiloa December 2025 Sky Watch Airs Hibernal Northern Winter Solstice

Summary: 'Imiloa December 2025 Sky Watch airs hibernal northern winter solstice Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025 even as that day acts as estival southern summer solstice.

"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.

Mokumanamana (Hawaiian moku manamana, "island branched/branches/branching") island, acknowledged modernly as Necker Island, acted as ritual center for ancient Hawaiians who addressed their spiritual activities to heavenly actions. The winter solstice afforded a special alignment of above-Hawaiian archipegalo (grouped islands, island group, from Greek ἀρχι- πέλαγος, "main sea") areas, such as our Sun, and on-Hawaiian archipelago areas, such as Mokumanamana island; "Necker Island at At Sea aboard Kahana Boat at Mokumanamana, Necker, Hawaii," Starr image 130920-2214 obtained Friday, Sep. 20, 2013: Forest & Kim Starr, CC BY 3.0 United States, via Wikimedia Commons

'Imiloa December 2025 Sky Watch airs hibernal northern winter solstice of the Northern Hemisphere Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025 even as that day acts as estival southern summer solstice of the Southern Hemisphere.

The winter solstice, also branded hibernal solstice (from Latin hībernum -ālis, "winter -pertaining" via hibernālis; sōl sistō, "sun to stand still") begins Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025. It comes three months after the autumnal, fall, September equinox; six months after the estival, June, summer solstice; nine months after the March, spring, vernal equinox. The two equinoxes and the two solstices defer to two definitive domiciles of our Earth as our Blue Marble does annual orbiting around our solar-system sun.

The northern-autumn, northern-fall, September equinox (from Latin aequus, "equal"; nox, "night") expresses solar-disk exposure exactly overhead, at our Equator, halfway between Earthly north, Earthly south poles.

The September, northern-fall, northern-autumn equinox features halfway fitting over our Equatorial plane, between the Southern Hemisphere's Tropic of Capricorn and the Northern Hemisphere's Tropic of Cancer.

The December, northern-hibernal, northern-winter solstice guards from north- and south-polar axes getting tilted respectively away from and toward our Sun, the lowest-generated daylight hours all year. The March, northern-spring, northern-vernal (from Latin vernus -ālis, "spring-pertaining" via vērnālis) equinox has our Sun directly over our Equatorial plane, halfway between Northern and Southern Tropics. The June, northern-estival, (Latin aestās -ūris, "summer -related" via aestūrus -ālis, "summer -pertaining" via aestīvālis) northern-summer solstice invokes our Sun directly over the Tropic of Cancer.

'Imiloa December 2025 Sky Watch jubilates with other North-Pacific islands the hibernal northern winter solstice even as the South-Pacific islands jubilate the December, southern-estival, southern-summer solstice.

The December, northern-hibernal, northern-winter solstice keepsakes, from our north- and our south-polar axes keeping tilted respectively from and toward our Sun, the greatest-kindled night-time all year.

That solstice logs least lapse between one 24 hours' early-rising and early-setting suns all year even as another day lodges earliest sunrise, still another earliest sunset. The Time and Date dot-com site mentions the northern-winter solstice manifesting respectively earliest-sunrise and earliest-sunset times a few days respectively before and after the December-solstice date. It notes 10 hours, 56 minutes, 34 seconds between December-solstice sunrise and sunset over Hilo, Hawaii (from Hawaiian hilo, "thread"; ha wai 'i, "breath life-force supreme").

'Imiloa (Hawaiian 'imi loa, "to search far") December 2025 Sky Watch, University of Hawaii, Hilo, "Big-Island" Hawaii County, Hawaii observes the 21st-day hibernal northern winter solstice.

Our Sun presents at 6:50 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (2:50 Chamorro, 5:50 Samoa, 8:50 Alaska, 10:50 Pacific, 12:50 next-day Mountain, 1:50 Central, 2:50 Eastern, 3:50 Atlantic) Time.

Winter-solstice sun-setting quarters 5:47 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (1:47 Chamorro, 4:47 Samoa, 7:47 8:47 Alaska, 9:47 Pacific, 10:47 Mountain, 11:47 Central, 12:47 next-day Eastern, 1:47 Atlantic) quitting-time. Monday the 1st realizes 6:38 a.m. Hawaiian-Aleutian Standard (2:38 Chamorro, 5:38 Samoa, 8:38 Alaska, 9:38 Pacific, 10:38 Mountain, 11:38 Central, 12:38 p.m. Eastern, 1:38 Atlantic) sun-rising Time. That longest day sunsets at 5:40 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (1:40 Chamorro, 4:40 Samoa, 7:40 Alaska, 8:40 Pacific, 9:40 Mountain, 10:40 Central, 11:40 Eastern, 12:40 next-day Atlantic) Time.

'Imiloa December 2025 Sky Watch terms December hibernal northern winter solstice shortest year-2025 day even as December 1 tendered earliest sunrise, earliest sunset, longest sunrise-sunset transpiring.

The term Ke Ao Polohiwa a Kanaloa (hawaiian ke, "the"; ao, "cloud"; polohiwa, "dark glistening black"; a, "of"; Kanaloa,"estalished, firm, immovable, secure, unconquerable [healing/ocean/underworld god Kanaloa, island Kahoolawe]") announced to ancient Hawaiians, even as it announces to traditional Hawaiians, the winter solstice. It anticipates appreciating the god Kanaloa and/or the island Kahoolawe even as Kanaloa applies as another appellation for the healing, ocean, underworld god's special island. Deity Kanaloa's Kahoolawe island assembles ceremonial and religious platforms, shelter-caves, standing-stones, temples and terraces to the god Kanaloa and to his associations, such as winter solstices; "Ancient upright stones ("heiau") on Necker Island (Mokumanamana), Northwestern Hawaiian Islands," image obtained Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2002, by Andy Collins, Education Coordinator, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument 2009 Condition Report, "Figure 2.
