First, we went to the part where there were so many trees of the palm family planted there. Then, we moved to look for the site where orchids are collected. The Bogor Botanic Garden has a huge collection of orchids and it would certainly take time to see all the collection. The first thing that captured my eyes as we entered the garden are the big trees that stand tall on both sides of a narrow road that leads to the centre of the garden. We walked and walked around to explore every side of the garden. So, we continued our walk towards a pond where we could find giant lilies and some other water plants grow in it. Exploring the garden was so tiring. Luckily, theres cafeteria inside the garden. After having some drinks at the cafeteria, we decided to end the trip and went back home.

An eclipse of the Sun or solar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes through the Moon's shadow. A total eclipse of the Sun takes place only during a new moon, when the Moon is directly between the Sun and the Earth. When a total eclipse occurs, the Moon's shadow covers only a small portion of the Earth, where the eclipse is visible. As the Moon moves in its orbit, the position of the shadow changes, so total solar eclipses usually only last a minute or two in a given location. In ancient times, people were frightened by solar eclipses (even back then people realized that the Sun was essential to life on Earth). Now eclipses are of great interest to the public and to astronomers. Eclipses provide an opportunity to view the Sun's outer atmosphere, the solar corona. If you ever get to view a solar eclipse, make sure to never look at the Sun directly! Always use one of these safe techniques.
