Geocache Description:


Total Solar Eclipse 2017 - Idaho

We will have a special coin for sale at the event to remember this rare day.



Please join us in Idaho starting at 10:15:02.9.AM MST to start the event at the above coordinates when the partial eclipse starts. You will see Totality @ 11:33:46.2AM. Our event will last until 12:57:55.5PM when the Moon moves out of the Sun's view or until we leave soon after totality. 

 

 

Latitude: 43° 27' 60" NLongitude: 112° 02' 03" W Duration of Totality*: 1m 41sPartial phase start: 10:15:02AM (MDT), at "1:00 o'clock" on the sun's diskTotality Start*: 11:33:46AM (MDT) 
*All times shown are calculated for the lat/long specified above, and are accurate to within a couple of seconds, due mainly to influences of the "edge effects" at the start and end of totality.
For a more detailed explanation of this, please see the "About Accuracy" section of this great 2017 eclipse page by Ernie Wright of NASA
Please also note that these times have been converted from UTC; if you see times on other sites that say "UTC"/ "UT", or "GMT", those are NOT the local times for you in Idaho Falls!
