ABSTRACT

The amazing scenario of the setting Septionun (WESTERN WORD) and the rising Moon at Visakhapatnam has been captured in several photos by the author. Surprisingly the Sea water happens to be pristine blue, a bewildering sight on the Eclipse eve. Pictures taken on the eve from 5h30m PM to almost 6h40m PM. Roughly from 5h54mPM to 6h02mPM i.e., about 8 minutes, the possibility of simultaneously seeing the Sun setting in the West while the eclipsed Full Moon rising in the East has been observed. Dolphin’s Nose Hill at Visakhapatnam, allowed only the Red hue of colors splashed on to the clouds, of an impending storm from Arabian Sea, a magnificent view memorable. In Tokyo's Roppongi fashion and entertainment district, enthusiasts performed yoga exercises under the blood moon. The Volcanic eruption in Sumatra on Oct. 9, 2014 just for 15 minutes only. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in Hawaii, said on Wednesday that the Earthquake, which hit at 0214 GMT (0744 IST) at 10 kilometers deep, registered as a 6.8 before upgrading it to a 7.2. "An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 occurred near the southern East Pacific rise at 0215 UTC (GMT) Thursday, October 9 2014".

The relationship of Volcano activity, Earthquakes occurrence and the Lunar Eclipse is strongly believed in India, by astrologers. The recent account seems to be no exception though it was a formal finding.

After months of appeals to conserve water, Californians appear to be finally getting the message, making substantial cuts in water consumption in the face of the state's drought. September 27, 2014 at 5h09m PM, Concern is mounting about dwindling water supplies across Iran, from the densely populated, smog-ridden capital and its parched suburbs to provincial towns and cities to far-flung corners of the nation, much of which is desert. Lakes and rivers have been drying up, reservoirs are at historic lows and water supplies have been cut in some areas. The annual snowmelt from the mountains is on the decline.  "We are consuming as little as possible," said Aziz, a father with young daughters. "We shower only two times a week. So we are not responsible for the water shortages".

INTRODUCTION
           
In Tokyo's Roppongi fashion and entertainment district, enthusiasts performed yoga exercises under the blood moon.

Visakhapatnam
Oct. 8 was a hot day very sunny and in the evening around 4PM the clouds gathered and it became pleasantly mild weather. The Moon was observed around at its time of rise at 5h54mPM at Visakhapatnam with lunar eclipse till 6:05PM IST and pictures captured are presented in  this article on Full Moon Day of Oct. 8, 2014. On the eve of Oct.8 the clouds gathered and the full Red Hue of the setting Sun reflected in the Clouds and several pictures taken to observe the evening Red glow of the setting Sun by the author. Surprisingly the Sea water happens to be pristine blue a bewildering sight on the Eclipse eve. Pictures taken on the eve from 5h30mPM to almost 6h40m PM and they would reveal the scenario of Visakhapatnam Beach shore with splendid spectral features. Most concentrated study required to gather information about Eclipse and its sustained affects.  
1.  JAPAN VOLCANO ERUPTION

            Thirty one hikers have been found lifeless near the peak of Mount Ontake after Saturday Sept. 27 sudden volcanic eruptions. 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.

2.  Volcanic activity worldwide 30 Sept 2014
Kilauae Volcano Dienstag: Kilauea ( Hawai’i) Following several days of increased pressure at Kilauea’s Summit, lava activity picked up on June 27, with new flows moved to North, on a pathway leading slightly away from the town of Pahoa.
3. Stromboli Volcano, Sinabung, Ontake-san, Santiaguito
Mittwoch Oct 01, 2014

Stromboli(Eolian Island, Italy), The eruptive activity has resumed more or less unchanged with the flow active while sporadic explosive activity continued from the Summit Vents. As lava output rates from 650m vent fluctuate, the front lava flow, located in central part of the Sciara del Fucco since Sept 6, advances and retreats in the lower part of Sciara, sometimes almost reaching the Sea.
4. Stromboli Volcano, Bardarbunga, Freitag, Oct 3, 2014
On Oct 2, lava overflow has established a new channel for the ongoing lava flow along the upper part of of Sciara del Fuoco, close to the escarpment and more visible from the 400m webcam. The previous active flow in the central part of the Sciara has become inactive

Samstag, Oct 04, 2014;  Stromboli, Eolian Island Italy

          The lava continues to flow through the northern channel on the upper Sciaraion rate  del Fuoco. Effusion rate remains significant. Small ash emissions continued to occur from the western vents.

6. Sonntag, Oct 5, 2014,Sinabung, Sumatra, Indonesia

Lava extrusions continued with series of small to moderately sized pyroclastic flows that occurred in the morning at the Volcano. The flows were produced due to upper, unstable and still growing the viscous lava. SE flank collapsed.

7. Volcanoe Today, 8 Oct 2014

Stromboli volcano, Bardarbunga, Copahue


Mittwoch Oct 08, 2014 10:00, Lava continues to flow from the effusive vent under the NE crater and forms several active branches on the upper Sciara del Fuoco. When observed last evening, the most advanced flow fronts were at 500-550 m elevation. Near-constant glowing rockfalls detach from the lava flows, sometimes reaching the lower parts of the Sciara. Occasional ash emissions, sometimes with audible detonations occurred from the western vent at the summit craters.

8. Strong Earthquake jolts Southeastern Pacific
 USGS Washington October 9, 2014. Updated 11h43m IST    
    
A strong earthquake shook the south eastern Pacific, about 570 kilometers south of Chile's Easter Island, the US Geological Survey has said.  The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in Hawaii, said on Wednesday that the quake, which hit at 0214 GMT (0744 IST) at 10 kilometers deep, registered as a 6.8 before upgrading it to a 7.2. "An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 occurred near the southern East Pacific rise at 0215 UTC (GMT) Thursday, October 9 2014," a statement from the Pacific center said.
TEMPLES IN INDIA  

Srikalahasteeswara Swamy temple in Srikalahasthi will remain open and Grahanakala Abhisekham will be performed to the presiding deity. The eclipse will be from 4h45mPM to 7h05mPM. In rest of temples in Andhra, the temple doors closed at 9h30m AM, with Suddhi, Punyahavachanam performed, and with doors opened at 8 PM and Sarva Dharshana will be allowed at 10h30m PM onwards. 

In India, the total lunar eclipse started from 1.44 pm and continued till 6:05 pm IST. Wednesday's partial lunar eclipse is of nearly 16 minutes duration in Lucknow. 

 According to the UP Amateur Astronomers Club, the eclipse would start from moonrise at around 5.47pm and would end at 6.04 pm.

CAUTION: Below presented from the web sites world around speak about the East set of Moon and Moon when it sets as the Sun, is coming up.

Stargazers in the Americas and Asia were treated to a lunar eclipse Wednesday, a celestial show that bathed the moon in a reddish tint to create a "blood moon." During the total lunar eclipse, light beams into Earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow that gives it a red hue. The early phase of the eclipse began at 0800 GMT, or 4am, on the east coast of the United States. The moon took from orange on an eerie blood-red hue or brown early Tuesday during the first total lunar eclipse of 2014, a celestial sight that wowed potentially millions of stargazers across North and South America, Hawaii and parts of Alaska, the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand, Australia and Eastern Asia are in a good position to watch the total eclipse.. The lunar eclipse peaked at 3 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT), with the moon taking 78 minutes to pass through the darkest point of Earth's shadow. The distinct coloring was caused as the Moon passed into the deepest part of the Earth's shadow (the umbra*), with the Sun's rays refracting through our planet's atmosphere to disperse the other parts of the spectrum of visible light, leaving only the red portion to reflect of the Moon's surface.
From 08:06 BST (07:06 GMT) our planet's natural satellite was fully eclipsed for more than 75 minutes and shrouded in a reddish glow.

A partially eclipsed full moon in 2011 hangs in the evening sky over Belgrade, Serbia, on Wednesday during the start of a total lunar eclipse. Earth’s shadow started to darken the moon around 18:22 universal Time or UT (2:22 PM. Eastern Time). The period when the moon is completely engulfed in Earth's shadow, known as totality, began at 19:22 UT and lasted for almost two hours.

Total lunar eclipse on Wednesday would have an unusual twist
Observers of Wednesday morning's total lunar eclipse might be able to catch sight of an extremely rare cosmic sight. On Oct. 8, interested sky watchers should attempt to see the total eclipse of the moon and the rising Sun simultaneously. The little-used name for this effect is called a "selenelion," a phenomenon that celestial geometry says cannot happen.

And indeed, during a lunar eclipse, the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky. In a perfect alignment like this (called a "syzygy"), such an observation would seem impossible. But, thanks to Earth's atmosphere, the images of both the Sun and Moon are apparently lifted above the horizon by atmospheric refraction. This allows people on Earth to see the Sun for several extra minutes before it actually has risen and the Moon for several extra minutes after it has actually set.

As a consequence of this atmospheric trick, for many localities East of the Mississippi River, watchers will have a chance to observe this unusual sight firsthand. Weather permitting one can have a short window of roughly 2 to 9 minutes (depending on the location) with the possibility of simultaneously seeing the sun rising in the East while the eclipsed full Moon is setting in the West.

Regions of visibility Europe etc.

From Newfoundland, the start of the partial stages of the total eclipse begins about 30 to 45 minutes before Moon-set. A growing scallop of darkness will appear on the upper left part of the moon when it sets as the Sun is coming up. Across eastern Nova Scotia, only the lower most portion of the moon will be in view as it drops below the western horizon. Farther to the west and south along the Atlantic seaboard, the moon will rise completely immersed in the Earth's shadow.

A peculiar Moon-set

People who live in those portions of the United States and Canada that are a few hundred miles inland from the Eastern Seaboard should have a good view of the Moon's emergence from the umbra somewhat later. The low, partially eclipsed Moon in deep-blue twilight should offer a wide variety of interesting scenic possibilities for both artists and Astro-photographers. From Toronto and points south through the eastern Ohio Valley and into the Piedmont to the Florida Gulf Coast, a peculiar-looking, waxing crescent moon with its cusps pointing downward will appear to set beyond the western horizon.

Farther west, across the western Great Lakes and down through the Deep South to the Gulf of Mexico, the moon will appear to be notched on its lower right side by the shadow.

Going still farther west, the Moon will go down "full," but if the western horizon is haze-free, assiduous observers from much of Minnesota, western Iowa, eastern portions of Nebraska and Kansas as well as central sections of Oklahoma and Texas might still be able to detect a faint penumbral stain on the moon's lower right limb.

Lunar eclipse tonight may highlight Draconid meteor shower

Total eclipse starts at 3:15 a.m. PT (6:15 a.m. ET) on Wednesday

CBC News Dt. Oct 07, 2014 5:00 AM ET ; Updated: Oct 07, 2014 6:27 PM ET


The atmosphere scatters most of the blue light, leaving only the red to hit the moon causing it to appear red. "It's the same reason why the sky is blue and why sunset is red". The edge of the Earth's shadow will begin to pass over October's full moon, traditionally called the hunter's moon, at 1:15 a.m. PT or 4:15 a.m. ET. It will cover the moon for a total lunar eclipse starting 3:15 a.m. PT or 6:15 a.m. ET and lasting 59 minutes.

A total lunar eclipse will be visible across much of the Americas and Asia in the coming hours. The eclipse starts at 08:00 GMT (04:00 EDT), reaching totality just before sunrise at 10:25 GMT (06:25 EDT).  During the eclipse, which is the second to occur this year, our only natural satellite will be fully covered by the Earth's shadow. The Moon will appear orange or red, the result of sunlight scattering off our atmosphere, hence the name Blood Moon.
