The third week of December 2007 in India witnessed enhanced features of the cold winter. States of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh felt the brunt of cold winds. Mount Abu the abode of excellent Marble Temples, a Pride of Indian Sculpture and Architecture, registered minus one degree C. Rajasthan Churoolu registered 3.5 while the temperature at Jaipur was 4.8 degrees C. The Kutch and Saurashtra regions have experienced intense cold winds. In UP Raibearlie, Lalithpur and Siddhardhanagar had heavy snow and mist. Delhi weather improved from Friday to Saturday with an increase of temperature from 7deg C to 9.2degC. Simla was under a thick cover of snow and mist. Surrounding areas of Simla had registered temperature zero degrees on Celsius scale. Southwest monsoon has brought heavy rain to Tamilnadu state, at Tirupati Hills in Andhra Pradesh, and at Papanasam dam area. The river overflowed and excess water of the dam was discharged away down the hills. Kakinada experienced some agitated sea waves and at least one fisherman’s boat broke down on Friday night near Kodaikurai. The low-pressure depression that formed in between Sri Lanka and Tamilnadu continued rain downpour even on Saturday, 8th December 2007.
Visakhapatnam experienced sudden cold weather on the 17-20th Dec 2007 with the above average temperatures by one or two degrees C brought down considerably. Western winds from Rajasthan have brought down temperatures especially in Telangana area. Icy natural spectacle has formed in Jammu & Kashmir area. The icicle spectacle formed at Baisaran, 115km south of Srinagar. The Kashmir valley reeled under intense cold wave conditions for during the first fortnight of December 2007 month. Jammu and Kashmir received heavy snowfall.
The haze drowned weather at Visakhapatnam, enjoyed festival days in the third week of December. Especially Vaikunta Ekadashi was celebrated with divine fervor. A 10km up and down VIZAG RUN race was held on the 23rd Sunday 2007 from RK beach to MVP Colony. The city has been bubbling with the enthusiasm of an Indian Science Congress meet to be held from Jan 3rd to 7th,, 2008.
The night of 23rd Sunday 2007 was a very momentous day at Visakhapatnam since from 8.00.P.M onwards the city enjoyed a spectacle of the Astronomy Event of Moon and Mars together in a Friendship Motion. The Mars was found in the castellation of Gemini (Meethuna Rashi) up in the eastern horizon.The haze formed added, to the amazing view of the Moon and the Mars in vivid styles of fading and bright features. The night was relatively warm and perhaps a Far Infra Red phenomenon of the weather conditions. The haze and the mist were undoubtedly a combination of the water vapor and humidity conditions, due to the recent low-pressure depression of the southern peninsular region of India. The atmospheric conditions were congenial for any viewer interested in the window of visible light from both Mars and the Moon. The broad spectrum of Electromagnetic studies was a failure in this city of past glory of Academic excellence.
The analysis made by the author led to very significant features of the visible spectrum of the Moon and the Mars. One noticeable feature is that the haze converted the red hue of the Mars to white color at times with but a red hue ring around it. Obviously from the line of sight of the Moon and Mars which were close by the light passing through the atmosphere got mixed up in different scattering conditions of the haze, mist and the dust grains. The observations have been made three times at 9.30PM, 11.30P.M and at 00.30 AM. The observations were not made in the early morning since the city lights would have added much disturbance of the spectacle of the Planet and the Moon. The author has successfully made Video recording of the spectacle of the Moon and Mars Friendship motion.To-day’s Google information asserts that the Mars has -1.6 magnitude brightness while Sirius has -1.4 magnitude brightness.Christmas Day is really wonderful with Conjunction of Mars and Moon a sky spectacle of Beauty, Awe and Divinity. The year 2007 shall be remembered for a long time with the Google Blogposts.
