http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/uts/summer.html
The only thing unfriendly about this Web site is its address. The information is clear, easy-to-read, and linked to definitions of words that might need some explaining. The text is offered in Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced versions, with colorful graphics to illustrate exactly what the sun and Earth are doing at the summer solstice.

This link takes you to a popular interest newspaper column written by the retired director of the Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City. He talks about summer solstices now and in the past, mentioning New Age, Druid, and Native American celebrations. As an astronomer, he himself celebrates how much we have learned about the Earth and the sun and offers links to other Web sites that offer good scientific information on the solstice and other subjects.
