Summary: ‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch moon phases addressed at University of Hawai’i, Hilo, Hawai’i County and island, Hawai’i state, admit Summer Solstice June 20.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

In 2024 Hawai'i's summer solstice happens Thursday, June 20; the Southern Hemisphere experiences the solar event oppositely, as an autumn solstice: Imiloa Astronomy Center, via Facebook May 29, 2024

‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch moon phases addressed at University of Hawai’i, Hilo, Hawai’i County, island, state (from Hawaiian hilo ha wai ‘i, “thread breath life-force supreme”), admit Summer Solstice June 20.

Summer solstice (from Latin sōl sistō -ium [noun-forming suffix], “sun placed [farthest from celestial equator once summer, once winter]") 2024 borrows from the lunar night hours. Summer solstices communicate the solar circulation farthest from the celestial-equator configuration of the Earthly equator as a northern-hemisphered and a southern-hemisphered celestial sphere in solar-system space. That distance displays the Blue Marble Earth as daring the maximum tilt of its axis toward our Sun and thereby delighting in its longest current-year day.

‘Imiloa Astronomy Center, University of Hawai’i, Hilo (from Hawaiian ‘imi loa, “to search far”; ha wai ‘i, “breath life-force supreme”; hilo, “thread”) expresses Hilo solstice-time length.

The Thursday solar feature, fostered by the maximum North-Pole tilt toward our Sun, furnishes the County of Hawai’i county seat sunlit 13 hours and 19 minutes.

Days growing longer between Winter Solstice 2023 and Summer Solstice 2024, then shorter for Winter Solstice 2024 give our Moon respectively shorter and longer total night hours. ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center has four main, monthly, standard moon phases even as lunar phases sometimes have days hanging into the next month, as happens June 2024. June 2024 initiates with last-moon days from Thursday, May 30, 2024, even as it invokes new-moon days Thursday, June 6, 2024, through Wednesday, June 12, 2024.

‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch moon phases jubilate their own new-, first-, full-, last-moon lunar phases even as Summer Solstice June 20 joins their first-quarter beginnings.

June 2024 Sky Watch knows its first-quarter moon phase from Thursday, June 13, 2024, through Wednesday, June 20, 2024, between each nightly sunset and next-day sunrise.

Eastern horizons launch June-long sun 5:30 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian (1:30 Chamorro, 4:30 Samoa, 7:30 Alaska, 8:30 Pacific, 9:30 Mountain, 10:30 Central, 11:30 Eastern, 12:30 p.m. Atlantic) Time. They sometimes make June-long sunrise 5:45 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian (1:45 Chamorro, 4:45 Samoa, 7:45 Alaska, 8:45 Pacific, 9:45 Mountain, 10:30 Central, 11:30 Eastern, 12:30 p.m. Atlantic) Time. ‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch notes days longer by perhaps one minute or two, nights shorter by perhaps one minute or two until first-quarter moon-phase end.

‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch moon phases offer Summer Solstice June 20 respective day, night temperatures at 81 (27.22), 72 (22.22 degrees Celsius) degrees Fahrenheit.

‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch positions full-moon and last-quarter phases from Friday, June 21, through Thursday, June 27, and Friday, June 28, through Sunday, June 30.

The full-moon and the last-quarter lunar phases qualify as quartering the first days that quantify longer and the first nights quantifying shorter after Summer Solstice 2024. June-long weather reveals temperature ranges of 77, 79, 81, 82 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit (25, 26.11, 27.22, 27.78 and 28.89 degrees Celsius) for all-overcast, sometimes-rainy days. June-long weather suggests temperature ranges of 68, 70, 72 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (20, 21.11, 22.22 and 23.89 degrees Celsius) for its 30 all-overcast, sometimes-rainy nights.

‘Imiloa June 2024 Sky Watch moon phases tender their Summer Solstice June 20 an 81-degree, overcast but rain-free day and a 72-degree, overcast but rain-free night.
