ABSTRACT:
It rained in the night of 22nd November 2010 during the wee hours of 23rd November 2010 with the clouds silently gathered with the Moon rise on the eve of 22nd. The previous study showed the development of the rain clouds with the formation of a haze since the 18th November 2010 following the Full Moon day of 21st November 2010. The moon was near the stars of Zeta of Pisces, passed through Aries and it rained when it was located near the Eta of Taurus. Moon near Aldebaran (Rohini) and Lambda of Orion (Mrigasira) has not rained but the sky remained cloudy with the Moon predominant Air-Glows. The ancient findings of eons have changed by considerable astronomical positions and a further analysis is a dire need. What is noteworthy is that the Moon has crossed the Orion Hunter on the 24th November 2010 night and 25th Nov 2010 morning it is away from the Hunter Betelgeuse (ARDHRA?) star! Moreover the Moon had the splendid background shine of the Milky Way that can be easily noticed even with naked eye. Elsewhere the presence of cloud masses were found not obstructive to observe clearly the background Milky Way (Akasha Ganga) shine of fine structure and somewhat uniformly distributed around it for a considerable distance. The Arudhra identification in present day Astronomy Data is ambiguous in the Indian Ancient calendar. The early morning images captured, by the present author, of the Moon is breath taking in view of their splendid display of the terrestrial shadows with mountain cliffs.
INTRODUCTION:
Phenomenal weather changes have been thought as early as 1st January 2009 by AMS and AGU who have analyzed as arising due to the Global warming. It’s reported their findings as “Research Meteorologists found that the temperature changes brought on by global warming are significant enough to cause an increase in the occurrence of severe storms. Severe storms are those that cause flooding, have damaging winds, hail and could cause tornados”. 3D Sun observations reported by Space weather dot com asserts that “the Earth-facing side of the sun is quiet; strong solar flares and CMEs are unlikely this weekend. The far side of the sun, on the other hand, is dotted with active regions”. Also it says that the “old-fashioned Full Moon according to modern folklore, a Blue Moon is the second full Moon in a calendar month. The Moon is full on Nov. 21st. Usually there are only three full Moons in a season, but this fall there will be four. The full Moon of Nov. 21st is the third of those four. According to old editions of the Maine Farmer’s Almanac, that makes it a Blue Moon. Confused?” Further it has recorded that “Earth is exiting a thicket of debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, source of the annual Leonid meteor shower. According to international counts, the shower crested on Nov. 17th and 18th with a peak rate of 20 meteors per hour. Compared to, say, the Leonid storms of a decade ago; it was not an impressive display. A bigger display is coming: In early December, Earth will enter a cloud of debris from extinct comet Phaethon, setting off the annual Gemini meteor shower. On peak night, Dec. 14th, forecasters expect as many as 100 meteors per hour, five times greater than the waning Leonids”. Earth is inside a solar wind stream flowing from the indicated, by Space Weather dot com, coronal hole of 17 Nov 10. All of the Sun Spots 1127, 1126 and 1124, on the Earth-facing side of the sun were quiet. They have not produced strong flares.
Our Observations:
It rained in the night of 22nd November 2010 during the wee hours of 23rd November 2010 with the clouds silently gathered with the Moon rise on the eve of 22nd. The previous study showed the development of the rain clouds with the formation of a haze since the 18th November 2010 following the Full Moon day of 21st November 2010. The moon was near the stars of Zeta of Pisces, passed through Aries and it rained when it was located near the Eta of Taurus. Moon near Aldebaran (Rohini) and Lambda of Orion (Mrigasira) has not rained but the sky remained cloudy with the Moon predominant Air-Glows. The ancient findings of eons have changed by considerable astronomical positions and a further analysis is a dire need.
The debris of the comets etc could not have created the weather conditions of haze at Visakhapatnam in the equatorial region of the earth following the 21st November 2010 Full Moon. On 21st evening while image capture of the Jupiter I have observed a very bright meteor fall with only a half moon’s diameter away from the Jupiter. It looked as if it travelled straight down the east side of the Jupiter.
The 24th November 2010 sky was very cloudy with rapid movement of the dense cloud masses. The 25th and 24th however had bright sunshine. The wee hours of the 25th the moon had its full bloom of lunar-shine but only occasionally with the pass-by cloud masses. Image capture in spite of the good lunar shine was possible. The idea of the author was to capture the event of the Moon near a bright star termed Ardhra in Indian Calendar. (Viz. the Betelgeuse or the Alpha of Orion-the Hunter). What is noteworthy is that the Moon has crossed the Orion Hunter on the 24th November 2010 night and 25th Nov 2010 morning it is away from the Hunter Betelgeuse (ARDHURA?) star! Moreover the Moon had the splendid background shine of the Milky Way that can be easily noticed even with naked eye. Elsewhere the presence of cloud masses were found not obstructive to observe clearly the background Milky Way (Akasha Ganga) shine of fine structure and somewhat uniformly distributed around it for a considerable distance. The scenario of the sky on the evening of 25th and the morning of 26th Nov 2010 has changed with the haze gradually replaced by massive black clouds. The Procyon seems to be the ARDHRA, the identification being skeptical since the Indian Calendar requires ARDHURA and the JEYSTHA of Scorpio the two immediate far away SUNs that would influence the life on the Earth. The idea that there may be other Suns to influence the Earth in spite it belongs to our Solar system seems to be very fascinating. And on the 27th November 2010 the Indian Calendar identifies both the Pushyami and Ashlesha as those of Cancer 4 stars and (Epsilon) Hydra four stars with just 8 stars while the Punarvasu(Pollux) as the ninth star. The identifications are to be with caution since the calendar dates to eons ago. The weather on the 26th was of Good Sunshine. 27th weather is cloudy and dull. But in the evening the sky has lost its cover of the dense fog and Jupiter was visible by 7hPM with its neighbor stars clearly.
The Hindu Newspaper reported that a significant drop in night temperatures in all the regions of Andhra Pradesh state of India occurred due to cold winds from the Himalayan region. Adilabad recorded 16deg C lowest in state. There was excessive rain fall due to NE monsoon. While 25% deficit rain recorded in Mahabubnagar and in the Coastal Andhra 54%, Telangana 44%, and Rayalseema 37% excess rain has been recorded.
The concept of chilly weather as responsible for the heavy dense fog on the night of 27th November 2010 at Visakhapatnam could not be just associated with the cold winds from the Himalaya region. The satellite image of the 27th Nov 2010 of weather shows that the clouds have engulfed the Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and the Kerala coasts. But November 28th evening offered a nice bright view of Jupiter with splendid show of its near stars. The beach on-going Navy Festival light has affected the East Image capture and only the bright stars have been noted for our record.

Results:
The Indian Calendar has identified several stars of prominence and brightness eons ago and especially they said that the Head of the Hunter was a three straight line stars, called Invaka. The two bright stars identified by them as Jeystha and Ardhura seem to be very correct but the Arudhra identification in present day Astronomy Data is ambiguous. The early morning images of the Moon are breath taking in view of their splendid display of the terrestrial shadows with mountain cliffs.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
I am indebted to late Prof.K.Rangadhama Rao D.Sc. (Madras) D.Sc. (London) for initiating me to do research studies and for his constant guidance during my professional career.
ADDENDUM:
a. Gautama who dates back to 1800BC as per Burma Buddhist records, has a poem to his credit that mentions about the concept of Dhulee and Dhummu minuscule’s associated with Nuclei (Anuvulu) as per a report on page 12 of Medha (Intellectual) issue of Andhra Bhoomi Newspaper dated Monday 29th November 2010.It mentions resources as (Lalitha Vistar Shutra) “The Universal History of Numbers” by Georges Efra and “Here is Looking at Euclid” by Alex Bolois. What is interesting is that the poem recited on the Numbers of Measure to the microscopic and super microscope distances has used the Ancient Classical Telugu Letters. The Telugu language thus has the first evidence of its use about 1800BC! for mathematics exercises. Siddhartha (Gautama) and Arjuna have competed with each other on the methods of number multiplications. Also the Finger midst is about 4cms divided by seven times with 10 digit gives 0.04E-07 meters, the size of a carbon atom. The Article in Andhra Bhoomi at the end mentions role of Quarks (by James Joyce) in Chemistry!
b. The Archeologists discovered cave paintings and shell made tools, in the areas of formations of “labyrinth by lime stone “of ancient migrant people of Asia to Australian Continent 40,000years ago for the Lengguru area of New Guinea Island in Indonesia Papua region.
