The bigger a telescopeâs mirror or lens, the more light can be captured and the brighter distant celestial objects will appear. The quality of the lenses is also very important. Before you buy, ask to have a look through it in daylight at a distant object.
1814 White House Fire. The 1814 White House Fire was a monumental moment in United States history â one where the nationâs seat of power was literally brought down by its enemy. It was the culmination of an ongoing war between the United States and the British Empire and would ultimately set the stage for the nation to rise again.
In 1812 the British burned the white house in the War of 1812. When it was repaired it was painted white. Paint was very expensive in the 1800's so to have a whole house paint â¦ ed white was very unusual and soon when asked about where the president lived they would refer to the white house.
