When a full moon rises, you are looking through polution, dirt, dust, and the rest of the atmosphere. This makes the moon yellowish or orange. When it is directly overhead, you do not need to look through as much polution, dust and dirt.

When will moon be directly overhead in first quarter?
To be directly overhead the moon must be at the correct latitude. For some locations this is simply not possible because the moon's orbit is nearly in the plane of the equator. For other locations, it is necessary to know the latitude of your location.
If Sirius the brightest star in the sky rises 10pm one night the following night it will rise at?
The solar day is 24 hours long; from the Sun overhead to the Sun overhead the next day takes 24 hours. However, the sidereal day - from a star overhead to the star overhead the next night - is only 23 hours 56 minutes. The stars appear to rise 4 minutes earlier each night. So if Sirius rises at 10PM one night, it will rise at 9:56 PM the next night.
What place do stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon?

Which constellation is directly overhead in spring?
That's going to depend on where you are on Earth (your latitude), and on what date you decide to look, and on what time of day or night. You may not have noticed that everything in the sky rotates, and every star rises, crosses the sky, and sets, just like the sun and the moon do, and each star rises about 4 minutes earlier every night than it did the night before. Whatever is directly overhead now, won't be in a half hour from now.

When is the sun directly overhead Chicago?
The sun can never be directly overhead at any place located more than 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator. Chicago's latitude is roughly 46 degrees north, so the sun can never be directly overhead there, and I can tell you that those of us living in Skokie are very grateful for that fact. Just like every other point between 23.5 degrees north (the Tropic of Cancer) and the north pole, the highest the sun ever gets occurs at noon on the Summer solstice, which is within a day either way of June 21.
