Characters can also be categorized as protagonists or antagonists. A protagonist is usually the main character who is experiencing the conflict caused by the antagonist, or opposing force in the story. Think Luke Skywalker versus Darth Vader, Harry Potter versus Voldemort, or Tom Hanks in Castaway versus his environment.
How Many Days Until Winter 2016? Posted on June 5, 2016 by Chris Robbins. The winter (December) solstice will occur on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at 10:44 UTC. In the United States, this translates to 5:44 am EST, 4:44 am CST, 3:44 am MST, 2:44 am PST. This will mark beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
The winter solstice is the year's shortest day, but the start of winter also launches the sun's steady climb toward the long, warm days of summer. This year, the northern winter solstice occurs on Wednesday, December 21, at 5:44 a.m. ET (10:44 UTC). It happens at the same moment no matter where you live, but because we've divided Earth into 24 times zones, people around the world will observe it at 24 different times of day.
