How long does the Iditarod race last?

On Sunday, March 8, mushers will again line up at the old Wasilla Airport in Wasilla about 40 miles north of Anchorage. At ten a.m., the first teams will depart on their way to Nome.

From Wasilla, they travel to Knik Lake, the last checkpoint on the road system. Spectators may drive the 17 miles from Anchorage to Eagle River and the approximately 30 miles from Eagle River to Wasilla. It's about 13 miles from Wasilla to Knik. Once the mushers leave the Knik checkpoint, they are OFF the road system for the duration of the race.

It is impossible to predict the exact day or time that the first musher will cross the finish line in Nome. However, we expect it to be between 9 and 12 days, making it on second Tuesday or Wednesday. Doug Swingley, 1995 Champion, completed the course in 9 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes and 19 seconds to become the first musher from outside of the state of Alaska to ever win the Iditarod.

Why do constellations look different in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere?

Constellations appear different in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Earth's spherical shape and its position relative to the stars. As observers move from one hemisphere to the other, they see different portions of the night sky, with some constellations being visible only in one hemisphere. For example, the Southern Cross is prominent in the southern hemisphere but not visible in the north. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth causes different stars to rise and set, altering the observable constellations.

Can the southern hemisphere people see the pole star Why?

The elevation of Polaris (the North Star) above the Northern horizon is almost
equal to the North latitude of the place where you are when you see it.

That means that when you stand on the Equator, the North Star is exactly
ON the Northern horizon, and if you stand anywhere South of the Equator,
the North Star is always BELOW the horizon.

But . . .

Everybody in the Southern hemisphere CAN see the SOUTH pole of the sky,
which nobody in the Northern hemisphere can ever see.

Sadly, there's no bright star anywhere near the South pole of the sky,
to mark it the way Polaris marks the sky's North pole for us.
