Last week my friends and I went to one of the best botanic garden in the world, the
Bogor Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bogor).
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, there’s 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.

A train station, also called a railroad station (mainly in the United States) or railway
station (mainly in the British Commonwealth) and often shortened to just station, is
a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It
generally consists of a platform next to the track and a station building (depot) providing
related services such as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single track main
line, it usually has a passing loop to facilitate the traffic. The smallest stations are referred
to as 'stops' or, mainly in the British Commonwealth; 'halts' (flag stops). Connections may
be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses or rapid
transit systems.

Railway stations usually have ticket booths (British English: "ticket office" or "booking
office"), ticket machines, or both; although on some lines tickets are sold on board the
trains. Ticket sales may also be combined with customer service desks or convenience
stores. Many stations include a form of convenience store. Larger stations usually
have fast-food or restaurant facilities. In some countries, stations may also have a
bar or pub. Other station facilities may include: toilets, left-luggage, lost-and-
found, departures and arrivals boards, luggage carts, waiting rooms, taxi ranks and bus
bays. Larger or manned stations tend to have a greater range of facilities. A most basic
