“Twice a year, in May and July, the sun passes directly overhead us in Hawaiʻi. On these two days, the sun will be above us at a 90 degree angle to the horizon and any upright object, such as a flagpole, won’t have a shadow,” said Romee Wizza Gaoiran, Bishop Museum Planetarium manager. “This phenomenon only occurs in the tropics and as Hawaiʻi is the only U.S. state in the tropics, we’re the only state that experiences Lāhainā Noon.”
Family-friendly evening event features discounted admission, free parking, and the Kaiwiʻula Night Market.
