INTRODUCTION
The crescent Moon near the Venus gave a good opportunity to the author to study the prevailing weather conditions at the sea shore of Visakhapatnam and as well the spectral properties of the duo of the Moon and the Venus.
OUR OBSERVATIONS:
The significant observation made is that of the low intensity Moon shine offered a very faint reflection of light, on the Bay of Bengal sea waters at Visakhapatnam coast. The spectra analysis of it surprisingly gave predominant colors of Green and the Blue. Green is overriding the blue. The red is obscured in between these predominant colors of green and blue. A similar feature has been observed even in the full spectrum of Venus obtained recorded just on one image capture by the author. It took lot of concentration and attempt of obtaining these images. The spectral analysis has been found to be worth the attempt of patience.
IMAGES AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS:
Fig 1 of 1st March 2011 Moon & Venus duo
This shows the Moon above the Venus on the East and the duo was visible even in the morning Sun rise time of about 6h11mAM on the 1st March 2011.
Fig 2 of IMG_2861kln Moon & Venus near stars and the Spectra.
The Moon and the far stars of the West, South and the North have been found to give a fountain like effect. The proximity of the Venus to the Moon above can be seen in the image taken at 5h47mAM, 5h07mAM, 5h09mAM and at 4h59mAM on 1st March 2011.
Fig 3 of Img 2861kln Moon Spectrum with Venus nearby
The spectrum of Moon to the third order could be recorded at 4h55mAMon 1st March 2011 with Venus very nearby. The image 2861 wave foam has splendidly shown the spectral features of the Foam as well the reflection of Moon shine on the sea water. Note the predominance of the green and the blue colours obtained in the sea water incident moon shine spectral image analysis. The image taken at 5h48mAM on 1st March 2011, with the crescent Moon in multiple frames, shows that the in between space of the Moon and the 1st order spectrum, the atmosphere has also been endowed, with the green and the blue predominance. This is very interesting and far reaching significant observation against the Blue light background. The role of Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta has been emphasized.
Fig 4 of IMG_2888kln Moon and Venus Splendour on Narasimha Ashram
The image taken at 5h48mAM on 1st March 2011, with the crescent Moon in multiple frames, shows that the in between space of the Moon and the 1st order spectrum, the atmosphere has also been endowed, with the green and the blue predominance. The Moon and the Venus above the sea has a sea wave not apparently visible in the image taken by video mvi 2896 at 5h03mAM. The zoomed duo is shown captured in the mvi2901 at 5h06mAM. The reddish crescent Moon doesn’t show that much of red hue on the sea waves. It has patch white spots due to the features of lunar topography.
Fig 5 of IMG_2897kln 2nd March 2011 Moon & Venus.
This image shows the Moon below the planet Venus on the East. Moon not so intense in Moon-shine has been one i.e. very near to the Sea hovering on the horizon, at Visakhapatnam coast.
Fig 6 of IMG_2919kln Moon and Venus On Narasimha Ashram
The significant observation made is that of the low intensity Moon shine offered a very faint reflection of light, on the Bay of Bengal sea waters at Visakhapatnam coast. The spectra analysis of it surprisingly gave predominant colors of Green and the Blue. Green is overriding the blue. The red is obscured in between these predominant colors of green and blue.
Fig 7 of IMG_2905kln Moon Venus duo with the distant stars visible
The stars near and far to the duo Moon and the Venus have become somewhat better visible on the 2nd March 2011 with the naked eye than on the 1st March 2011.
Fig 8 of 5h49m AM 3rd March 2011 mvi2927kln
The bright Venus spectrum could be image captured at 5h33m AM on 3rd March 2011 with the sky amazingly clear of any fog. The other image 2982 depicts the low lying dusty atmosphere of the harbor area of Visakhapatnam, The Red glow of the sun rise has engulfed the crescent 14thday Moon as barely visible.
Fig 9 IMG_2920kln Venus Spectrum on Narasimha Ashram at 5h32m AM 3rd March 2011
The Red glow of the sun rise has engulfed the crescent 14thday moon as barely visible. But the author has obtained a spectrum of both the planet Venus and the crescent Moon along with the colour hue of the sea waters. Venus is in the deep Blue colour of the sky in spite it was a bright white glow.The central carbon dioxide cloud is quite distinguishable of the Venus planet.
Fig 10 of vlcsnap mvi2896 3rd March 2011 at 5h03m AM Moon & Venus and a Wave
The snap shot of mvi2896taken at 5h03mAM 3rd March 2011 shows the ocean wave and the Venus and Moon Duo. The Ocean wave has a predominant red hue obviously of the irradiance from the atmosphere of the Sun rise in the East. Though the sky was not blue the ocean wave shows the red tinge dominantly. The Rao and the Anti-Rao Quanta interplay has been earlier conjectured to ascertain the acquisition of the red hue by the ocean wave foam. The involved physical process of scattering and collisions was a vivid reason of the red hue of the foam of the Bay of Bengal sea wave at the Visakhapatnam coast.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
The Author is deeply indebted to late Professor K.Rangadhama Rao D.Sc(Madras) D.Sc.(London) for his initiation, constant encouragment,stimulating discussions,support and guidance for my research investigations in varied fields of Mathematical Physics, Nuclear Physics and Modern Physics. His blessings were a great source of courage to me in my creative thoughts and effort.
ADDENDUM
The three days of the beginning of March 2011 have been of significance for Indian Astronomers since they suggested the sacred tree Tulasi leaves Puja to be performed on 2nd March 2011, the observation of Maha Siva Rathri on 3rd March 2011 and on the 4th March 2011 the regular calendar month New Moon Day. Throughout India the Maha Siva Rathri is regarded as the end of the winter season and the beginning of regular summer season. The reason of observing the 3rd March 2011 as Maha Sivarathri Day because the fourteenth phase of the declining Moon shine would end at night 23h09m with Moon near to beta star of the Delhinium. Through out the 4th March 2011 the New Moon persists as per their calendar. Moon would be seen again visible on Sunday, 6th March 2011 in the evening. The star constellation in which it exists then is described, as purvabhadhra i.e having an appearance of a cot’s four legs (including the Uttarbhadhra).
It’s very unfortunate that the people have observed the Maha Siva Rathri Day on the 2nd March 2011 which day was actually 13th day phase of the Moon ending at 21h40m while the 14th phase of Moon ends on 3rd March 2011 at night 23h13m, so the midnight of 3rd March 2011 actually happens to be the New Moon time. It lasts through the 4th March 2011 Night and ends early morning of 5th March 2011 at 01h02m AM. The Purohits & Pujariees, ascertain the beginning of the chaturdashi as the day of Mahasivarathri for religious offerings and not the ending and beginning of the New Moon.
