What time does summer start in 2008?

Question

I was wondering what the exact time was that summer started in eastern standard time. Thank you very much!

Answer 1

According to the science-advocacy website www.earthsky.org, the time of the summer solstice is officially 11:59 p.m. June 20 Coordinated Universal Time  as measured at the prime meridian at Greenwich, England.

Standard time within most of the world's 24 time zones is an integral number of hours offset from Coordinated Universal Time, which is maintained by a large number of precise atomic clocks at laboratories around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory.

The Central Time Zone in the United States is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, meaning the solstice will occur at 6:59 p.m.
