June 2020 Will Have Both A Solar And Lunar Eclipse

June 2020 Will Have Both A Solar And Lunar Eclipse




This year has been filled with rare astronomical events, and we are about to see a few more. This June, we will get a chance to see both a solar and lunar eclipse. The first will be the lunar eclipse, which will happen on June 5th, and after that will come the solar eclipse, which will happen on June 21st.
For those of you who don’t know, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, which totally or partly blocks out the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun’s, blocking most of the Sun’s light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus, or ring.




A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy), with Earth between the other two. A lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon’s proximity to either node of its orbit.



During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth’s atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.
Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon’s shadow. Also unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection or special precautions, as they are dimmer than the full Moon.
With a solar eclipse, it is very important to use eye protection because staring at the sun, especially under eclipse conditions, could lead to serious eye damage. Average sunglasses will not work either, special eclipse glasses are needed to view this rare event.

The Sun Is Asleep

The Sun Is Asleep. Deep Solar Minimum Feared As 2020 Sees Record-Setting 100-Day Slump


While we on Earth suffer from coronavirus, our star the Sunis having a lockdown all of its own. Spaceweather.com reports that already there have been 100 days in 2020 when our Sun has displayed zero sunspots. 
That makes 2020 the second consecutive year of a record setting low number of sunspots which you can see (a complete absence of) here.
Note: never look at the Sun with the naked eye or through binoculars or a telescope that aren’t fitted with solar filters.
So are we in an eternal sunshine of the spotless kind?

Fatima Faize in London(Part1)

If you’re visiting London for the first time and have a few days of vacation, then be sure to put these attractions at the top of your itinerary.

♔ 

Houses of Parliament (and Big Ben)

Located on the banks of the Thames are the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Take a guided tour inside the Houses of Parliament into the Commons and the Lords chambers, which are offered on Saturdays and certain weekdays when Parliament is on recess. You can also see the famous giant clock tower known as Big Ben, but unfortunately only UK residents can actually tour it.








♔ 

Westminster Abbey


Westminster Abbey is a 700-year-old church located in the heart of London. Several royal weddings and coronations have taken place here. Since it’s known as a living pageant of British history, it stays busy and the staff usually keeps visitors moving at a fairly quick pace on their guided tours. You can also choose an audio guide and go about the Abbey at your own pace. Either way, taking pictures or videos aren’t allowed inside Westminster Abbey at any time so be sure to take lots of mental pictures.



 British Museum

The British Museum is a world-renowned human history and culture museum that’s been open to the public since 1759. It houses a permanent collection of more than 8 million works of art and artifacts from all around the world that date from prehistoric to modern times. Some of its collection includes the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures and several mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection. Visiting the Museum is free and is the perfect place for any history buffs or antiquities lovers. As one of the best museums some have said they’ve ever been to, the British Museum has something for people of all ages to see and learn.


Tower Bridge

Come to  Tower Bridge, a Victorian bridge that’s one of the most famous ones in the world that crosses the River Thames, to get a beautiful view and plenty of pictures of London. A full visit to Tower Bridge Exhibition or a personal guided tour lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes and lets you see all of Tower Bridge and hear all about its history and inner workings.


 Buckingham Palace

You can’t visit London for the first time and not visit the official London residence of Britian’s sovereigns since the mid-1800’s. Buckingham Palace is the current London home of The Queen, as well as the Monarch’s administrative headquarters. There are 775 rooms furnished and decorated with beautiful and priceless pieces of furniture and art from the Royal Collection. The State Rooms are open to Palace visitors all year so you should plan on spending at least two hours on your visit.




London Eye

Come to Lodon Eye to get a bird’s-eye view of London’s South Bank at more than 400 feet up in the sky. On one of this giant Ferris wheel’s 32 capsules, which can hold up to 25 people, you’ll spend roughly 30 minutes checking out the city of London and 50 of its famous landmarks. For a more personal experience, get a private capsule or go for the romantic and private Cupid’s capsule, complete with a bottle of champagne and a box of luxury chocolates.


 ♔ I stayed at the Hotel Holiday INN, which was uncomfortable.

Rome, Italy

Top things to do in Rome:



Visit the Colosseum 

The biggest amphitheatre ever built and the ultimate symbol of imperial Rome. It’s every tourist's rite of passage to stroll through the crumbling stadium, once sheethed in marble, and imagine the blood-spattered gladiatorial combats, the lions that once prowled the stadium, the roar of the crowd.








Located just east of the Roman Forum, the massive stone amphitheater known as the Colosseum was commissioned around A.D. 70-72 by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty as a gift to the Roman people.





In A.D. 80, Vespasian’s son Titus opened the Colosseum–officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater–with 100 days of games, including gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights. 

After four centuries of active use, the magnificent arena fell into neglect, and up until the 18th century it was used as a source of building materials.





Though two-thirds of the original Colosseum has been destroyed over time, the amphitheater remains a popular tourist destination, as well as an iconic symbol of Rome and its long, tumultuous history.




Even after the decadent Roman emperor Nero took his own life in A.D. 68, his misrule and excesses fueled a series of civil wars. No fewer than four emperors took the throne in the tumultuous year after Nero’s death; the fourth, Vespasian, would end up ruling for 10 years (A.D. 69-79).





The Flavian emperors, as Vespasian and his sons Titus (79-81) and Domitian (81-96) were known, attempted to tone down the excesses of the Roman court, restore Senate authority and promote public welfare. Around 70-72, Vespasian returned to the Roman people the lush land near the center of the city, where Nero had built an enormous palace for himself after a great fire ripped through Rome in A.D. 64. On the site of that Golden Palace, he decreed, would be built a new amphitheater where the public could enjoy gladiatorial combats and other forms of entertainment.











After nearly a decade of construction–a relatively quick time period for a project of such a grand scale–Titus officially dedicated the Colosseum in A.D. 80 with a festival including 100 days of games. A well-loved ruler, Titus had earned his people’s devotion with his handling of recovery efforts after the infamous eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79, which destroyed the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii. The final stages of construction of the Colosseum were completed under the reign of Titus’ brother and successor, Domitian.
Measuring some 620 by 513 feet (190 by 155 meters), the Colosseum was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world. Unlike many earlier amphitheaters, which had been dug into hillsides to provide adequate support, the Colosseum was a freestanding structure made of stone and concrete. The distinctive exterior had three stories of arched entrances–a total of around 80–supported by semi-circular columns. Each story contained columns of a different order (or style): At the bottom were columns of the relatively simple Doric order, followed by Ionic and topped by the ornate Corinthian order. Located just near the main entrance to the Colosseum was the Arch of Constantine, built in A.D. 315 in honor of Constantine I’s victory over Maxentius at Pons Milvius.
Inside, the Colosseum had seating for more than 50,000 spectators, who may have been arranged according to social ranking but were most likely packed into the space like sardines in a can (judging by evidence from the seating at other Roman amphitheaters). Awnings were unfurled from the top story in order to protect the audience from the hot Roman sun as they watched gladiatorial combats, hunts, wild animal fights and larger combats such as mock naval engagements (for which the arena was flooded with water) put on at great expense. The vast majority of the combatants who fought in front of Colosseum audiences in Ancient Rome were men (though there were some female gladiators). Gladiators were generally slaves, condemned criminals or prisoners of war.







The Colosseum saw some four centuries of active use, until the struggles of the Western Roman Empire and the gradual change in public tastes put an end to gladiatorial combats and other large public entertainments by the 6th century A.D. Even by that time, the arena had suffered damaged due to natural phenomena such as lightning and earthquakes. In the centuries to come, the Colosseum was abandoned completely, and used as a quarry for numerous building projects, including the cathedrals of St. Peter and St. John Lateran, the Palazzo Venezia and defense fortifications along the Tiber River. Beginning in the 18th century, however, various popes sought to conserve the arena as a sacred Christian site, though it is in fact uncertain whether early Christian martyrs met their fate in the Colosseum, as has been speculated.
By the 20th century, a combination of weather, natural disasters, neglect and vandalism had destroyed nearly two-thirds of the original Colosseum, including all of the arena’s marble seats and its decorative elements. Restoration efforts began in the 1990s, and have proceeded over the years, as the Colosseum continues to be a leading attraction for tourists from all over the world.

Fatima Faize In Egypt, Cairo (Part:1)

Are you planning to visit Egypt? Here i share for you things to do in Cairo Egypt in 7 days, including the Pyramids and other Cairo points of interest!




Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu):


The Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu), is the largest of the Giza Pyramids and the oldest member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This great structure was constructed on the orders of Khufu, the second ruler of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, taking thousands of workers more than two decades to build.




The Great Pyramid incorporates 

more than two million stone blocks.

The original height was 146 meters, when it was covered by a casing that formed a smooth outer surface. Due to centuries of crumbling what is seen today is the underlying core structure, which reaches 139 meters tall. Some of the casing stones that once covered the building


 a pyramid required enormous resources and the maintenance of a wide array of all kinds of skilled and unskilled workers.  The kings of the 4th Dynasty - often referred to as "the pyramid builders". A strong central government, and a surplus of wealth, were both vital to any efforts at pyramid building and these resources were passed from Sneferu, upon his death, to his son Khufu.


                   

I’ll admit it, riding a camel at the Giza Pyramids is one of my best memories of all Egypt. The freedom and the sense of wonder is incredible as you imagine yourself in the shoes of the many travellers who came to this land centuries ago and were soon face to face with monuments beyond words or description.

Timeless pieces of history that once shined across the desert with their golden decorations. It is something truly special.

Did You Know: Each of the Giza Pyramids is dedicated to a different Pharaoh from the Old Kingdom’s Fourth Dynasty. Most theories about how the pyramids were built agree that they were constructed by thousands of workers quarrying huge stone blocks from the Nile then dragging and lifting them into place.






 Inside, the Great Pyramid features three burial chambers.

 There’s an underground chamber cut out from the bedrock of which the pyramid is built, while the second is above ground and known as the Queen's Chamber. 






The third, the King's Chamber at the top of the structure, holds a large red granite sarcophagus.

 Take a horse ride near the pyramids


I took the horse ride around the pyramids,which was an experience in itself by traveling in dessert and seeing the pyramids by different angels.
They even took me to an vintage point where all 9 pyramids are in an angle for the pictures. I recommend everyone to try it.
