Children of all ages flocked to Alvin Settles Pool at Greene and Adventure streets during the summer solstice Thursday, June 20. The annual summer solstice provides the longest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. The Earth tilts on its axis from between 22.1 degrees to a steeper 24.3 about every 40,000 years according to a NASA website. This year’s tilt is 23.5 degrees. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
