Monday the 18th is  Lahaina Noon in Hilo.  For those interested look it up on the web or check out the links below.According to the Bishop Museum <https://www.bishopmuseum.org/astronomy-resources/>, this phenomenon only occurs in the tropics; the Sun is never directly overhead in any other part of the planet.Maybe rocks cast no shadow on Lahaina Noon that makes it relevant.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahaina_NoonAloha, Kitty_______________________________________________Rockhounds mailing listSubscription Services:  http://rockhounds.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/rockhounds_rockhounds.drizzle.comList Usage Policy: http://Tomaszewski.net/Kreigh/Rockhounds/Rockhounds.shtml
