Solar eclipse of june 21 2020,Surya grahan live updates




Kolkata,WB,21/06/2020:--

        An annular solar eclipse is now in progress on June 21, 2020. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of 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 (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide.

This solar eclipse will occur one lunar year after the July 2, 2019 eclipse.








Lunar eclipse

          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.

Mushroom became essential in tasty dish list (mushroom soup (top) , (below  right) pizza and (below left) noodles) Kolkata,WB,30/06/2020:--                       Mushrooms are an indispensable ingredient in any cuisine, be it Chinese, Continental, or even Indian for that matter. Mushroom Matar Paneer or a Mushroom Kadai are as ubiquitous in a restaurant as Mushroom Soup or a Chilli Mushroom . And not just restaurants, the fungus is now a staple in every Calcuttan’s kitchen, not just for its taste but also because of its rich food value.           While the white button mushroom peeks out of every dish, it is absent from most of the markets of Calcutta. Most people do not have access to this vegetable except in some big markets in Calcutta. To bring about a change in this supply-demand deficiency, a research on mushroom cultivation has been started by one Ashok Pal, a mushroom farmer who lives in ...
