About it
Stonehenge is a ring of great standing stones on Salisbury Plain, in England. It was built in stages from about 5,000 years ago; some of its smaller stones, the bluestones, were brought from Wales, more than 200 kilometers (140 miles) away. Its biggest stones stand in pairs with a stone laid across the top, called trilithons.
Stonehenge is lined up with the sun: on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, the sun rises in line with its entrance. Tap it: the sun comes up over the far bank, framed by the great trilithon, a golden beam shines through the stones, and they glow gold.
