ABSTRACT
The long, dark solar filament that had been visible for
many days finally lifted off and broke away into space (Sept. 2, 2014). For the last four years the Chittoor
district is under severe drought due to failure of monsoon rains. The
Rivers of Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha states have flooded and J
& K floods are unprecedented over more than fifty years. A mysterious
boom on Sunday September 7 heard, in the capital was made by a small meteorite
that left a crater in a wooded area near Managua’s airport. It appears to have
come from an asteroid that was passing close by to Earth. The Northern Autumnal Equinox is less than two weeks
away. That makes tonight's September 8, 2014, full Moon the Harvest Moon, the full Moon closest to the beginning of fall. It
is very remarkable that the entire spectrum of colors gets reproduced in the
sky in the evening at the sunset time and within a few minutes the color scope
gets marvelously manifested, on the eve of September 11 at Muralinagar. During the days Sept 17 to Sept 19, what is the relation between the Magnetic field
fluctuations of the Sun and the heavy down pours in France and in India,
raising the sea level by two meters in France and a few feet height in
Visakhapatnam? Thirty one hikers have
been found lifeless near the peak of Mount Ontake after Saturday Sept. 27
sudden volcanic eruption. The India spacecraft MOM is now circling Mars
in an orbit whose nearest point to the planet (periapsis) is at 421.7 km and
farthest point (apoapsis) is at 76,993.6 km. The inclination of the orbit with
respect to the equatorial plane of Mars is 150 degrees. IceCube experiment, found a third year of data to their analysis,
reporting a total of 37 neutrinos with energies lying
between 30TeV and 2PeV. Britain's first floating solar panel project
installed. On Sept. 12th a CME hit
Earth head-on, sparking the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. The CME swept away many of the cosmic rays
around Earth and, as a result, radiation levels in the stratosphere dropped. Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only
won the hearts of NRIs here but also of nearly 40top US lawmakers who described
his words as "inspirational and visionary".
The fuel that the MOM spacecraft
has saved for it there are two options. The first is to use the fuel to
extend the life of the spacecraft beyond six months to one year or more. The
second option is to fine-tune the orbiter’s trajectory to obtain more
data. New x-ray-diffraction experiments reveal the hidden order inside a spinning
bead of super fluid.
Filament Eruption
Earth Directed:
On September 2, a filament of DARK PLASMA of Sun has been exhibited by
Spaceweather.com. It survived days but erupted with a CME emerging from the
blast to have an Earth reaching component [NASA’s SDO recorded the blast].:
To make rocket engine parts, the
design need to be entered into the 3D printer’s computer. The printer then
built each part by layering the metal powder and laser-fusion puts it together,
a process known as selective laser melting. [News on September 3].
KRISHNA RIVER SPOTLIGHT AFTER 2300 YEARS
Amravati
in Andhra, was built way back in 3rd century BC and ancient Sanskrit
(Indian) Text of Atreya Brahmana (800 BC) speaks about
Telugu people Assaka Maha - Janapada settlement in Southern India between
Godavari and Krishna Rivers that served as the first capital Andhra. Later it was shifted to Dharnikonda
(present Amravati) in 2nd century BC and ruled by Satavahana kings
till 2nd century AD. It was shifted next to Vijayapuri, by Ikshvaku
dynasty, (Nagarjunakonda) on the banks of Krishna River in the same century.
Due to Pallava Rule the capital shifted to Kancheepuram in now Tamil Nadu from
4th to 6th century. Later it was Kodur, Kapotapuram,
Vengi and Vinukonda which served as capital cities. During that time rulers
were Bhihatpalayanas, Anadagothrikas, Salankayanas and Vishnikundins. Seventh
capitol took shape at Warangal during the rule of Kakatiya and Chola dynasties
for a considerable period of 600 years. After that was the Golden era of
Vijayanagar Empire with Hampi as capitol. Later the capitol of Andhra was
between Hampi and Golconda/Hyderabad ruthlessly ruled by Muslims followed
easily by British who created the Madras Presidency.
Now, the new State of Andhra Pradesh 2014 formed, likely to have the capitol located between Guntur and Vijayawada.

Electrons in magnetic
field reveal surprises
Aug 14, 2014: According to classical physics,
electrons should rotate about the magnetic-field direction with a single
frequency, called the "cyclotron frequency". But in their
experiments, the researchers found that, contrary to what was predicted, they
were able to induce a multitude of rotation frequencies in their moving
electrons, namely the cyclotron frequency, zero frequency and the Larmor
frequency (which is half the cyclotron frequency).

MATTER AND ANTIMATTER IN UNIVERSE
Torsion
could also explain the observed imbalance between matter and antimatter in the
universe. Because of torsion, matter would decay into familiar electrons and
quarks, and antimatter would decay into "dark matter," a mysterious
invisible form of matter that appears to account for a majority of matter in
the universe. Finally, torsion could be
the source of "dark energy," a mysterious form of energy that
permeates all of space and increases the rate of expansion of the universe.
Geometry with torsion naturally produces a "cosmological constant," a
sort of added-on outward force which is the simplest way to explain dark
energy. Thus, the observed accelerating expansion of the universe may end up
being the strongest evidence for torsion. Torsion therefore provides a
theoretical foundation for a scenario in which the interior of every black hole
becomes a new universe [A physicist presents a solution to present-day cosmic
mysteries. Originally published: May 17 2012 at 1:15pm; Nikodem Poplawski,

Authorities said bad
weather on Friday cut short the work of investigators in rural Virginia probing
the abduction and murder of two young sisters who disappeared while going to
see an Easter exhibit at a Maryland shopping mall nearly 40 years ago. For a
week, detectives have been looking for evidence and gathering information
around Taylor Mountain, east of Roanoke, in connection with a person of
interest in the case who was named earlier this year.
The last king of Nepal is in stable condition
in a hospital after suffering a heart attack, doctors said Sunday. Gyanendra Shah was brought to the hospital
Saturday night, and was recovering in the intensive care unit and was out of
danger, said Dr. Bharat Rawat at the Norvic Hospital in atmandu. Hundreds of
his supporters crowded the hospital Sunday. Security was tightened around the
hospital in the center of Katmandu. Gyanendra was the last king to rule Nepal
before the Constitution Assembly abolished the centuries-old monarchy and
turned the country into a republic. He remains in Nepal as a common citizen
with no powers, but is provided security by the government. He was crowned as
king in 2001 after the killing of his elder brother Birendra in a palace
massacre but remained mostly unpopular. Mass demonstrations forced him to give
up his authoritarian rule. Many people believe that Gyanendra was involved in
the massacre of Birendra and nine other royal family members. An investigation
blamed Birendra's son Dipendra, who was among the dead, for the massacre. He
has maintained a low profile with occasional public appearances. Despite his
unpopularity, he still has tens of thousands of supporters who want the
monarchy reinstated.

Sunken 'Ship of Gold'
Contains Bounty of Jewelry, Other Treasures: By
Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor September 19, 2014 11:45 AM. A
trove of gold coins, bracelets, buckles and broaches are among the precious
treasures retrieved from a 157-year-old shipwreck off the coast of South
Carolina. The "Ship of Gold," known in its sailing days as the SS
Central America, was loaded down with 30,000 lbs. (13,600 kilograms) of gold
when a hurricane sent it to the watery depths 160 miles (260 kilometers) from
the coast of South Carolina on Sept. 12, 1857. In 1988, the shipwreck site was
discovered, and recovery efforts pulled large amounts of gold from the bottom.
But only about 5 percent of the site was excavated.

Lights that people saw all the way from Europe to the western US.
WONDERS OF THE WORLD
1.
Pink Lake in Western Australia: Quite
like the color of strawberry bubblegum, the lake Hiller in Western Australia is
famous for being one of the most stunning pink lakes across the world.
2.
Seven Colored Earth in Chamarel,
Mauritius: The small village in Mauritius is popular to check out numerous
colors of the Earth. Test tubes filled with multi-colored earth is a great
souvenir.
3.
Zhangye Danxia in Gansu, China: This
unusual yet stunning formation of rainbow colors can be witnessed at the
Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu, China. This unique natural
wonder is a result of red sandstone and mineral deposits that have been laid
down for over 24 million years.
What is a Solar Wind
Tower?

Sas Ariz., describes itself as the “gateway to the Sea of Cortez.”
Located southwest of Yuma, between the Mexican border and the Colorado River,
it will break ground on a solar wind tower power plant in 2015. The
electric-power plant will be taller than the Chicago's Willis Building (Willis
used to be known as the Sears Tower) and will generate as much power as the
Hoover Dam. According to a story broadcast on Phoenix Fox TV, the tower, at 2,250-feet (686-meter) tall, would be
800 feet taller than Willis and “the tallest structure in North America.”
OBSERVATIONS
New Type of
Turbulence on North Carolina’s Coast: Published September 2, 2014:
Physics 7, 89
(2014): Analysis of sea surface height measurements during a storm in North
Carolina’s Outer Banks has led to the first observation of an unusual form of
turbulence. Over 40 years ago, Vladimir Zakharov, working
at what is now the Budker Institute for Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, Russia,
conceived of a novel kind of turbulence that could appear in situations ruled
by the KdV equation. He described collective fluid motion that looked like
typical turbulence but was in fact the aggregate result of numerous solitons of
different sizes. But so far no one has observed soliton turbulence.

Fig.B An event in the IceCube neutrino telescope.
Photomultipliers attached to strings buried deep in the
Antarctic ice detect the bursts of light emitted when a neutrino collides with
the ice and produces a Muon. Color circles indicate triggered photomultipliers,
with time progressing from red to green. The event shown was generated by an
upward moving Muon, which was produced by an upward moving Muon neutrino that
passed through the Earth [M. G. Aartsen et
al. September 2, 2014: Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol.113, p.101101,2014].
The IceCube detector achieves a 1 billion ton effective mass by burying
photomultiplier detectors in a cubic kilometer of ice in the South Pole. When
an electron neutrino collides with an atom in the ice, it generates a broad
shower of particles, while Muon (tau) neutrinos can generate kilometer-long Muon
(tau) tracks; both produce light that is detected by the photomultipliers. In
2013, IceCube reported on two years of data taking, in which they detected 26 neutrinos with energies lying above 30TeV including a
greater than 1 PeV neutrino that was the highest energy
neutrino ever detected (see 8 July synopsis). In their latest paper, they have
added a third year of data to their analysis, reporting a total of 37 neutrinos with energies lying between 30TeV and 2PeV.
Their detected signal is significantly (6σ)
in excess of the expected flux of atmospheric neutrinos (those produced by
cosmic rays interacting with atmospheric protons and neutrons) over the same
energy. The Beginning of Extra-Galactic Neutrino Astronomy, Eli Waxman, Particle Physics & Astrophysics Department, Weizmann

surface by powerful magnetic forces. Filaments are notoriously unstable. They
appear darker when viewed in extreme ultraviolet light because they are
somewhat cooler than the underlying material. The video covers about 14 hours

SPACEWEATHER September 2014
The Northern Autumnal Equinox
is less than two weeks away. That makes tonight's September 8, 2014, full Moon the Harvest Moon, the full Moon closest
to the beginning of Fall. The name "Harvest Moon" harkens back to a
bygone era. Before the days of electric lights, farmers relied on moonlight to
harvest crops which ripened all at once in autumn. They couldn't afford to stop
working at sunset, so "harvest moonlight" was essential to their
operations. The flow of electricity has made the Moon obsolete as a source of
practical illumination, but not as an object of beauty. Stepping outside on
Sept 8, 2014 at Sunset, looking towards the East, enjoyed the view at
Visakhapatnam on the Beach Coast. [See the pictures captured on Nokia200 and

KASMIR
& JAMMU FLOODS SUMMARY
Worst ever floods in
Kashmir over the 109 years resulted as a national calamity. About 1200 villages
were affected in Kashmir valley and 1100 villages in Jammu. 400 were totally
submerged under water and 1.3lakh people were rescued by Army, Air Force, Navy
and NDRF teams. Jhelum, Chenab and Tawi Rivers in major fury and devastating
floods occurred in Jammu & Kashmir experienced in a century with rains lasting for a 12 days period.
30 feet high in areas near the Jhelum on
Sunday Sept 7. Water rose to four feet on the night of Sept 8 at Dal lake. Flood
toll may cross 400 with five lakh people still stranded. Rampant deforestation
in the region has exposed the surface soil to heavy erosion and accumulation of
it on the river beds and other water bodies reduced the water carrying
capacity. Possibly floods are due to the man-made blunders. Anantnag, literally means place of many springs,
is also victim of encroachment and unscientific development witnessed 286mm
rainfall followed by 245mm rainfall in Banihal on September 4, 2014 the highest
in the region. Floods damaged 50 bridges and 175km roads. At least 5000 people
belonging to other states evacuated by airlift. At least 45,000 people rescued
by boats. About 150 relief camps set up with one lakh people took shelter and
200tonnes of relief material has been supplied to date Sept 11. Says a
boy along with 35 others reached Delhi (out of about 74 students from Telangana
and AP), from AP we faced 12 days of continues rains and college campus
completely inundated. They travelled 16-hours advised by locals from
Hazaratbal to Leh from where he was airlifted to AP.

India's
monsoon rains were 64 percent above average in the week to Sept. 10, the
weather office said on Thursday, the heaviest rainfall so far seen in this
year's patchy season. Rainfall turned 24 percent surplus in the previous week
after the June-September monsoon season broke a three-week-long lull that
lasted until Aug. 27. The annual monsoon rains are vital because over half of
India's farmlands lack irrigation, and the farm sector accounts for 14 percent
of the national economy. Authorities in Kashmir
collected the bodies of women and children floating in the streets on Thursday
as anger mounted over what many survivors said a bungled operation to help
those was caught in the region's worst flooding in 50 years.
Landslides, washing off road patches and
flooding at various places in Banihal, Ramban, Batote, Kud, Patnitop, Chenani,
Udhapur and Jammu led to closure of roads. Reopen highway would facilitate
moving rescue material to the deprived people.

during May 16 to August 31. Moisture in the air is getting evaporated and day
and night temperatures are increasing drastically. Groundwater levels are
decreasing. Of the 66 Mandals 52 are facing the severe drought conditions.
Shortage of drinking and irrigation water, fodder and lack of employment for
farm labor some of the problems district administrators are facing. On

Prakasam barrage after three days. From Prakasam barrage all the water
would be released into the sea. Proper stabilization of water in Krishna River
would prevent flow into the sea. At Srikakulam heavy rainfall on Sunday late
night and Monday early hours had an outlet only through the school ground in a
narrow outlet, so school was closed on Monday, Sept 15. Incessant rain fall in
Latehar on Monday caused people to carry children on their shoulders.

Volcano Iceland’s Largest
Iceland's largest volcano
is restless. The Bardarbunga volcano system, located under the massive
Vatnajoekull glacier, has been rocked by hundreds of tremors daily since
mid-August. Lava is currently spewing from fissures, prompting fears of a much
larger eruption. Local photographers, meanwhile, are having a great time
recording a rare mix of lava-red and aurora-green in the night sky: Thorsten
Boeckel sends this photo from Mývatn, Iceland. "The red shine of the
fissure eruption together with the green aurora provided a phantastic view. A
full-fledged eruption of this volcano has the potential to be even more
disruptive than the 2010 eruption of nearby Eyjafjallajokull, which threw air
traffic into chaos across Europe. According to the Icelandic Met Office, there
are no signs of decreasing magma output as of Sept. 17th.

DEADLY RAIN AND RISE OF SEA LEVEL
Blazing
Sun throughout the day on Sept 17 but in the night from 9h30mPM to almost 11hPM
it rained heavily. Sept 18 full day
there was Sunshine with moving clouds and less air flow, since last five days. Sept
18 to Sept 19 morning around 8h30mAM there was rain at Visakhapatnam somewhat
heavy and continuous. Throughout the day on Sept 19 there was drizzling rain in
Visakhapatnam with heavy overcast clouds on the evening. On Sept 18 in Guntur a
women was killed in heavy rain and another due to lightning, a third death
occurred when a women was washed away by flood waters in Kondaveeti vague at
LAM farm chapta. Incessant rain of the past two days Sept 16 and 17 caused the
boulders at Indrakeeladri of Kanakamahalakshmi Durgamma temple to fall down the
hillock.
In France
five people were killed due to flash floods of a peaceful river in southern
France, on Thursday Sept 18. The site in Lamalou-les-Bains was devastated by
flood overnight as storms raised a wave of two meters high that swept away a
person walking.
The Visakhapatnam
beach coast has been noticed on the eve of Sept 19 to have risen at least by
three to four feet height and the sea waves have considerably increased. Eye
witnesses have vouched for it. The sky was completely overcast with
phenomenal heavy clouds but lightning and thunder was practically absent. It
rained in the evening around 6h30m to 7h30mPM. Sept.
19th, but a storm occurred anyway.
GREEN MIDNIGHT ON SEPT 19
Sky
watchers around the Arctic Circle saw the midnight sky turn green as magnetometers
registered an unexpected G1-Class disturbance between 0300 and 0600 UT. The
source of the display was a fluctuation in the interplanetary magnetic field
(IME). During the early hours of Sept. 19th, the IMF tipped south, opening a
crack in our planet's magnetosphere. Solar wind poured in to fuel the storm.
What is the
relation between the Magnetic field fluctuations and the heavy down pours in
France and in India, raising the sea level by two meters in France and a few
feet height in Visakhapatnam?
PRESENCE OF MIND
It
was on Friday Sept 19, all of a sudden the ground floor of the four storied
power generation unit was flooded after a thunderous noise from the gushing
water of Nagarjunasagar. Within minutes water level reached three feet creating
tension among the fifteen technicians and engineers at the site. Staff are
still wondering how water had gushed into the generation station. Overhauling
of the 30MW unit was in progress, which is done once in 20 years, without
wasting time she ordered the staff to release water through draft tubes
directly to the left bank canal. Presence of mind saved the units and CMD and
others praised the presence of mind of the Woman Engineer.
RAIN DISASTERS
Two teachers
washed away in Koppaganji Vagu on Friday evening on Sept 19 and the heavy rain
claimed a toll of 5 people. Due improper drainage facilities that lead to inundation
in Guntur and rain water entered the houses. GMC failed to flush out the rain
water in Hanumannagar, and GMC collects only funds was the complaint by local
residents. Kondaveeti Vagu referred, as the stream of sorrow, by locals of Amravati,
Tadikonda, Achampeta and Mangalgiri Mandals in the last thirty years has not
been diverted into Prakasam barrage (due to fear by Engineers and experts) or
to the Krishna River at Attluru village. But Attluru and adjacent villagers
opposed the diversion fearing inundation of crops and properties. The following
the heavy rain upstream the inflows into Somasila project increased with
27,414cusecs at 6AM on Friday. Normal life in Srikakulam was hit due to
relentless rain from morning on Friday Sept 19 with rainfall recorded as
273.8mm. At Gotta barrage water levels slightly increased.
Thunder showers lashed
Visakhapatnam for the 12 hours of Friday night with rainfall recorded as

22, two spacecraft that are nearing Mars, one American and the other from
India, will fire their engines and undertake crucial maneuvers. Shortly after 7
am on that day by Indian time, its orbit will be trimmed so that the probe
flies 150 km above the planet at its closest point and about 6,300 km at its
farthest. At about 2.30 pm on Monday, the
Mars Orbiter is scheduled to fire its main engine for nearly four seconds. This
will test how well the propulsion system is functioning and also provide a
final trajectory correction. Two days later, at about 7:17 am on Sept. 24, the
orbiter's engine will commence the burn to take the spacecraft into orbit about
Mars according to the timeline prepared by ISRO.

After completing about 99.4 per cent of its journey, the spacecraft called
Mangalyaan is functioning well and is only 4 million km from Mars, the Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Saturday. The inter-planetary
mission, launched on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from Sriharikota in
Andhra Pradesh on November 5 last year Tuesday, Nov 5, 2013 11:54 IST, will also explore
deep sea communication and navigation. According to ISRO, the spacecraft is
expected to enter the orbit of Mars at around 7.30 am on Wednesday. At 2.30 pm
on September 22, the main liquid engine of the spacecraft, which has been dormant
for 10 months, will be fired for about four seconds, partly to test the engine
before September 24 and partly to achieve a minor reduction of velocity of
about 1.1 km per second to correct its trajectory. This will be the fourth and
final trajectory correction during the journey.

The decision on utilization of fuel will be taken in the next few days with scientists waiting for the orbiter to revolve around Mars at least twice so that there is adequate data to be examined. Each revolution will take 3.2 earth days.
The spacecraft is now
circling Mars in an orbit whose nearest point to the planet (periapsis) is at
421.7 km and farthest point (apoapsis) is at 76,993.6 km. The inclination of
the orbit with respect to the equatorial plane of Mars is 150 degrees.

Antares is often mistaken for Mars. In Greek, "Antares" means
"rival of Mars" or "anti-Mars," so-named because it is about
the same brightness and color as the Red Planet. As September comes to a close,
the rivals are converging. Jeff Dai sends this photo of Mars and Antares

On Sept. 28th and 29th, the nights of closest approach, Mars and
Antares will be only a few degrees apart, a conjunction tight enough to fit
behind your outstretched palm. Sept. 29th is the best night to look because the
Moon will join the display, lining up to form a near-vertical column of
heavenly bodies just above the southwestern horizon. Sept. 27th is a good
night, too, but for a different reason: A slender crescent Moon will pass very
close to Saturn not far from Antares and Mars.

QUANTUM TORANDOS
Quantum tornadoes in a nanodroplet: New x-ray-diffraction
experiments reveal the hidden order inside a spinning bead of super fluid Sept. 2014. Spin a vessel of water, and the fluid
will move in uniform, solid-body rotation replace the water with a super fluid—a
liquid chilled to a viscosity-free quantum state—and the flow instead spawns an
array of tiny tornadoes, each with quantized angular momentum. The so-called
quantum vortices have been widely studied in rotating cryostats, but those
experiments have limitations. Defects along a cryostat’s surface inevitably
disturb the flow in ways that aren’t neatly captured by theory. Plus, bulky
cryostats can be spun only so fast, a few rotations per second at most, and
many interesting behaviors are thought to emerge at higher speeds. The ordered
vortex arrays therefore show up in x-ray-diffraction patterns as Bragg peaks,
as seen in the image here. Curiously, the peaks vanish at rotation frequencies
above about 10 million hertz, possibly indicating a transition to a disordered
or nonstationary phase. Those fastest-spinning droplets also show an unexpected
morphology: They bulge at their equators and flatten at their poles,
reminiscent of a cheese wheel.
CME hit Earth head-on
On Sept. 12th a CME hit Earth head-on,
sparking the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. The CME swept away many of the cosmic rays around Earth and, as a
result, radiation levels in the stratosphere dropped. During a three-hour
flight, the balloon ascended to the stratosphere, sampling radiation between
ground level and approximately 115,000 ft. The payload then parachuted back to
Earth and landed in a remote area of Death Valley National Park. The Southern
Hemisphere has just experienced the exact same equinox and it is aurora season.

JAPAN VOLCANOE ERRUPTION
Thirty one hikers have been found lifeless
near the peak of Mount Ontake after Saturday Sept. 27 sudden volcanic eruption.
About 250 people were trapped on the slopes of the popular beauty spot, but
most have got down safely. The volcano,
about 200km (125 miles) west of Tokyo, erupted without warning on Saturday,
spewing ash and rocks. The eruption forced many of those on the mountain to
make emergency descents through clouds of volcanic ash and falling rocks.
Almost 50 people were thought to have stayed on the mountain overnight, reports
said. Heavy, toxic volcanic ash up to 20cm (8in) thick covered much of the
mountain, reports said. Japan's second-highest volcano occurred following a violent eruption. The
victims were found near the peak of the 10,062-foot mountain and appear to have
been knocked unconscious by debris erupting from the volcano, or were overcome
by the dense ash or toxic fumes. These were the first fatalities from a
volcanic eruption in Japan since 1991.
