One day early.

According to the UPI, a group of pagans showed up at
Stonehenge on December 21, 2006, to celebrate the Winter
Solstice. The only problem was that when the Solstice occured
this year it was December 22 in the UK, at 00:22 in the morning.

You responding by working off a 1461 day celestial sphere cycle based
on 3 years of 365 days and 1 year of 366 days therefore the guys who
showed up at Stonehenge and Newgrange were perfectly correct and in
line with the builders of Stonehenge and that of Newgrange.They are
part of the rich astronomical heritage that stretches back to remote
antiquity while you lousy people who could not build the solstice
markers such as the roofbox -

The only problem indeed !,not one of you could figure out why the event
occurs the same moment every year (around 9 AM ) regardless of how
many days are in a year insofar as every 4th year there is a neccessary
correction to keep the calendrical convenience of a 1461 day cycle
..There is nothing more satisfying than splitting the calendrical
convenience from the annual cycle and treating them seperately but you
creatures are intent on filtering everything through the civil
convenience thereby destroying the exquisite reasoning od great
astronomers,both the geocentric timereckoning astronomers and their
heliocentric counterparts.

Go explain to people where the quarter day goes each year in order to
correct it every fourth year by adding a leap day at the end of
February.You feebleminded bunch do not have enough intelligence to
manage even that but I assure you the people who showed up at
Stonehenge and Newgrange were perfectly correct and in line with my
astronomical ancestors while you colorless freaks continue to turn
astronomy into a grey and dull pursuit based on magnification.
