EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Stonehenge takes us back in time to the ancient world. Dating from around 2100BC, this remarkable structure is a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. Composed of massive sandstone blocks and smaller bluestone pillars, Stonehenge's outer ring of lintelled stones spans an impressive diameter of 30 meters. But Stonehenge is more than just an architectural marvel; it holds profound astronomical significance. The alignment of certain stones with the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset suggests that this enigmatic site served as an observatory for seasonal festivals. It allowed our ancestors to track celestial events and mark important moments in their calendar. Located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge has rightfully earned its designation as a World Heritage Site. Its rounded circular shape stands out against the vast landscape, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder about our distant past. As we gaze upon this print from Science Photo Library, we are transported through time, contemplating the megalithic wonders created by those who came before us. Let us appreciate the history embedded within these ancient stones while pondering humanity's enduring fascination with astronomy and our connection to the cosmos.
