Stonehenge’s Lunar Connection: A Major Lunar Standstill Unveils Ancient Alignments

Scientists are investigating whether the iconic Stonehenge monument was also designed to align with the moon, in addition to its well-known solar alignments. A major lunar standstill, a rare event that occurs every 18.6 years, is underway until 2025. During this cycle, the moon rises and sets at extreme positions along the horizon. Archaeologists are now studying Stonehenge’s southeastern burials and Station Stones for potential lunar connections, noting that these features may have held special significance during the major lunar standstill.
