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.
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.
Woo! Group trip!
Also, for anyone else like me who’s dumb and didn’t know what Diamond Dust is. I guess it’s like ice crystals glittering in the air at ground level. There’s a cool video in the Wikipedia article. Image searches just kept bringing up literal diamond dust lol.
Those posts were installed perfectly parallel. Nice
Finally, I can use my shadow to judge where I’ll land in real life!
I saw the Google Maps Streetview car earlier today. I can’t wait for my picture to be published so if I get lost I’ll be able to find myself on the map.
You need to turn on ambient occlusion. That should fix it.
So the graphics were photorealistic all along.
