    brighter than normal. This is due to the full Moon occuring
    FULL LAST NEW FIRST while the Moon is at perigee, the point of its orbit when the
    7/3 7/9 7/17 7/25 Moon is at its closest position to Earth.

    Lahaina Noon
    In Hilo, the second Lahaina Noon of the year will occur at
    12:26 p.m. July 24. Lahaina Noon occurs when the Sun passes
    through the center of the sky at solar noon. These days are also
    called “zenith Sun” or “no shadow days.”
