💨 Abstract

On the summer solstice, thousands gathered at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise. The event allowed visitors to walk among the stones, which are usually fenced off. The site, a World Heritage Site, saw about 25,000 attendees and over 400,000 livestream viewers. Built around 2500 BC, Stonehenge is believed to be aligned with solar movements, marking the summer and winter solstices.
