Annular Solar Eclipse on May 20 – Path and Times

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 13:08:11 +0000

This May 20 should be a treat for all the sky gazers with the Annular Solar Eclipse on the date. “Annular” comes from the Latin word annulus (ring) and refers to the fact that a ring of sun shines all around the moon. This one will be best observed from the narrow band on Earth’s surface where the shadow of the moon falls throughout Asia, the Pacific region and parts of North America.

The following image from NASA shows the path of the eclipse and to where the eclipse will be visible.

And here are the times predicted by Space.com for the beginning of the eclipse to the end of the eclipse across multiple locations and zones.

Although Solar Eclipse can be a treat to watch, you have to take precautions to be safe from the harmful rays of Solar eclipse. Avoid viewing the eclipse directly with an open eye without any known protection and use of sun glasses, floppy drive disks or compact disks and must be avoided. The best way to view a solar eclipse is with an indirect projection of the eclipse on water or projected on a paper.

I hope you’ve set up your alarm or schedule for the day as i have, so prepare with care if you’re planning to view it with your family and friends.

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:36:58 +0000

Nepal is a country with hardly 10+ internet service providers around. That makes it rather easy to fall for the big advertisements and get a very low quality service and support.

Here we provide you the opportunity to vote for the ISP that you like and would recommend it to others based on their service, availability, consistency and support.

You will be able to view the poll results once you’ve voted. and you can revote monthly as we all know how often services quality changes in Nepal.

Take Our Poll

This will also serve as report to the Internet Service Providers to check their rankings and provide better overall internet service and support in future.

Welcome to the Jucktion,

The Jucktion was created to create a junction for people to share and have fun with all the different topics. We have gone through some lows and also some highs since we have started the journey since 2010. We’ve lost databases, loss of files and lots of other stuffs some with our own mistakes while some were not use. But we’re back again strong and we hope it will stay the same or get better. We will however continue to maintain and organize the site as much as possible.

We currently have three different section on our site, the main site, The Discussion Forum and The Jucktion Tech Blog. I generally keep active on the Forum and the tech blog so the main site seems to have nothing as of now. We’ve stopped the shop section since it was causing some high memory usage which caused many internal server issues. We hope to get it back soon when it will feel right.

We don’t currently have a lot of visitors to our site or active members on our forums but we hope it will definitely change in the future. Our revenue at this time are Adsense ads that you see everywhere. But if you’d like to advertise on your site we will be glad to talk and figure out a deal we both will like. The Jucktion will be working hard to get more visitors with great and unique content to make that possible.

The Jucktion is currently a one man Team so it will love to have some new team members to help out and friends to comment and suggest features and stuff. So if you’re interested please contact us through the Contact form. Any queries, complaints and suggestions are welcome.
Regards

The Jucktion
