Lāhainā Noon is a tropical solar phenomenon when the Sun culminates at the zenith at solar noon, passing directly overhead (above the subsolar point).[1] The term Lāhainā Noon was coined by the Bishop Museum in Hawaii and is only used locally. DetailsThe subsolar point travels through the tropics. Hawaii is the only US state in the tropics and thus the only one to experience Lāhainā Noon.[2] The rest of the states recognize the summer solstice as the event when the sun's rays are closest to directly overhead. Hawaii and other locations between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn receive the sun's direct rays as the apparent path of the sun passes overhead before and after the summer solstice. The Lāhainā Noon can occur anywhere from 12:16 to 12:43 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time. At that moment objects that stand straight up (flagpoles, telephone poles, etc.) cast no shadow. The most southerly points in Hawaii experience Lāhainā Noon on earlier and later dates than the northern parts. For example, in 2001 Hilo on the Island of Hawai{{okina}}i encountered the overhead sun around May 18 and July 24, Kahului, Maui on May 24 and July 18, Honolulu, Oahu on May 26 and July 15 and Lihue, Kauai on May 31 and July 11. Between each pair of dates, the sun is slightly to the north at noon.[2] Chosen in a contest sponsored by the Bishop Museum in the 1990s, Lāhainā Noon was the selected appellation because lā hainā (the old name for Lāhainā, Hawaii) means "cruel sun" in the Hawaiian language.[3] The ancient Hawaiian name for the event was kau ka lā i ka lolo which translates as "the sun rests on the brains."[4][5] In popular cultureThe event is covered by Hawaii media.[4][6][7][8] Activities are associated with the event.[9] The phenomenon occurs in stories, including "Lāhainā Noon" by Eric Paul Shaffer (Leaping Dog, 2005),[10] which won the Ka Palapala Po'okela book award for Excellence in "Aloha from beyond Hawai'i".[11][12] References1. ^Clock, sun rarely match at noon Explanation of Lahaina Noon {{dead link|date=August 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |title= ‘Lahaina Noon’ coming here soon |date= May 23, 2001 |newspaper= Honolulu Star-Bulletin |url= http://archives.starbulletin.com/2001/05/23/news/story12.html |accessdate= November 12, 2010 }} 3. ^{{Hawaiian Dictionaries |Lā-hainā |D48691 |q=Lahaina |dic=pp |accessdate= November 12, 2010 }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news |title= Noon sun not directly overhead everywhere |author= Nancy Alima Ali |date=May 11, 2010 |newspaper= Honolulu Star-Bulletin |url= http://archives.starbulletin.com/content/20100511_Noon_sun_not_directly_overhead_everywhere/ |accessdate= November 12, 2010 }} 5. ^{{Hawaiian Dictionaries |Lolo |exact=yes |accessdate= May 26, 2011 }} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/2006/05/27/news/briefs.html |title=Newswatch: Shadows disappear today at Lahaina noon |newspaper=Honoluu Star-Bulletin |date=May 27, 2006 |access-date=August 22, 2017 }} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Apr/29/ln/FP704290342.html |title=Earth at prime tilt to view Mercury at apex |date=April 29, 2007 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |first=Carolyn |last=Kaichi |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser }} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jul/11/ln/hawaii807110348.html |title= Lahaina Noon flits over Honolulu on Tuesday |date=July 11, 2008 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |first=Kelli |last=Miura |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser }} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jul/15/br/hawaii307150006.html |title=Liliha Library to host 'Lāhainā Noon,' 'StarLab' astro events |date=July 15, 2008 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser }} 10. ^{{cite news |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Jun/26/il/il07a.html |title='Lāhainā Noon' about a warm, clear feeling |date=June 26, 2005 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |first=Wanda A. |last=Adams |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser }} 11. ^{{cite news |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2006/Oct/29/il/FP610290335.html |title=Ka Palapala Po'okela winners named |date=October 29, 2006 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser }} 12. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/20110526__SHADOW_LESSONS.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110804004009/http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/20110526__SHADOW_LESSONS.html |archive-date=August 4, 2011 |title=Shadow lessons: Educators will show kids and adults the marvels of a Lahaina Noon event |first=Dan |last=Nakaso |date=May 26, 2011 |newspaper=Honolulu Star-Advertiser |dead-url=yes }} Further reading
