Astronomical Phenomena: Lahaina Noon

‘No shadow day’: Big Island gets one more chance to experience Lāhainā Noon this year | Big Island Now The astronomical event known as Lāhainā Noon happens when the sun passes directly overhead of locations in the tropics, which includes Hawai‘i, and causes upright and smooth-sided objects to be “shadowless.”

Before and after/ during tropical storm Calvin at Rainbow Falls. It was a lot of rain! but my flight home was on-time and uneventful 🙏

Excited to add more astronomy to physics class this year!
