As we all saw during The Great American Eclipse that
took place in August 2017, Idaho is a fantastic place to view some
extraordinary natural events. In fact, there’s another rare event coming
up and you’ll want to be sure you don’t miss it. A lunar eclipse is
expected to take place later this month, but don’t be fooled. This isn’t
your typical lunar eclipse. Lucky for, Idaho is home to some of the
darkest skies which are perfect for viewing a natural phenomenon like
this one. Keep reading for all the details!
Mark your calendars for January
20-21. On this particular night, a trifecta of lunar activities will
take place and you definitely don't want to miss it. Idahoans will be in
for a real treat when they look up at the sky and see what is being
called a "Super Blood Wolf Moon".
So, what exactly is a Super
Blood Wolf Moon? It sounds pretty cool, that's for sure! In fact, it's
the combination of a total lunar eclipse, a super blood moon, and a wolf
moon. The result is a unique phenomenon that resembles something from a
Sci-Fi movie.
This is bound to be a sight that
you don't forget any time soon. The stars will be much more visible
since the moon will have less than 100th of its usual brightness. The
moon itself will appear a reddish copper color. It promises to be a
breathtaking scene as long as the weather cooperates.
Scientists predict that the next
lunar eclipse won't occur until 2021, so you'll want to catch this one
if you can. The eclipse can be viewed from all of North America, South
America, and parts of Western Europe and Africa. Additionally, Idaho's
dark skies make it the perfect viewing place for such a phenomenon.
You don't have to travel to
anywhere fancy to see it. Although, staying away from any sort of street
light, and blue light especially, is considered the best practice for
eclipse viewing.
The lunar eclipse will take
place from around 7:36 pm on Sunday, January 20, until 12:48 a.m. on
Monday, January 21. This means that even those who like to hit the hay
early will have a chance to see this magnificent event.
This may come as a surprise, but there aren't too many mainstream songs out there written about our beautiful state. Apparently, everyone's exes live in Texas or something like that... Not that we mind! The fewer people who know about our slice of paradise, the better, right? Regardless, when a good song about Idaho comes on the radio or personal playlist, we can't help but wax a little nostalgic. Today, we've been able to dig up 15 tunes that capture the spirit of Idaho in their own unique way. Have a listen! 1. "Idaho" - Reckless Kelly (2013) "Because he's an Idaho cowboy/no Tennessee plow-boy / He's wild as the Rockies he rides." This popular alternative country group made every heart melt with this song. It sure does capture the spirit of the mountain-loving Idahoan, doesn't it? 2. "Idaho" - Feeder (2012) "I may find a better view, find a better... view / Idaho." Feeder is a British (Welsh) rock band that has bee...
Casa Loma (Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level, 66 meters (217 ft) above Lake Ontario. Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies, and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public. History In 1903, financier Henry Pellatt purchased 25 lots from developers Kertland and Rolf. Pellatt commissioned architect E. J. Lennox to design Casa Loma, with construction beginning in 1911, starting with the massive stables, potting shed, and Hunting Lodge (a.k.a...
The Kuna Caves (or Kuna Cave ) is a lava tube cave south of Kuna, Idaho, with a public entrance, an opening in the ground with a caged ladder leading down into the main cavern. Background The cave is about 50 feet (15 m) deep and runs about a quarter mile north and around 1,000 feet (300 m) south from the entrance. The southern portion of the cave requires crawling through a trench dug out of the clay floor of the cave, leading to a small space approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) wide by 3 feet (0.91 m) tall by 4 feet (1.2 m) long in which you can turn around to return to the main [cavern]. The interior temperature of the cave hovers around 56 °F (13 °C) year-round. A logbook was placed deep in the North end of the cave for people to sign in 2018. Local Culture According to locals, at one time the system had been much larger and was composed of multiple caves, even stretching to the Snake River, before the United States Army Corps of Engineers blocked it off by detonating d...
