    This happens twice a year anywhere between the tropics of cancer and capricorn. It’s called Lahaina Noon in Hawaii.

    P.S. If you happen to live between the tropics you can look for subsolar calculators to figure out which days this will happen for you. For me this happens in early april and september since i’m fairly close to the equator. If you’re close to the tropics the subsolar days will be closer to the solstice.

      New bucket list goal: See this.

      Will add it to seeing a total eclipse and seeing the Northern Lights with cool sky phenomenon I want to see.

        I’ve been fortunate enough to see a Lahaina moon and a total solar eclipse and both were very cool. Total Solar Eclipse was 1000x better though.

        Add Diamond Dust, and take me please. I got boned in the eclipse. Need to see that.

          New goal: see a total solar eclipse during lahaina noon during a period of peak sunspot activity to get some equatorial aurora and just after a water-rich meteorites disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, creating a blanked of ice crystals.

          Is that so much to ask? No clouds, ideally.

            Happy cake day, twin. I guess June 12th is like the baby boom for lemmy

            I mean, count me in, but I don’t think I’ll be alive long enough =/
