ABSTRACT

               Lt Vartak Joshi and Lt P Swathi women officers of Indian sailing vessel, with an all-women crew ready to undertake another globe journey. Gravity Waves recorded on  December 19^th around 5h21m PM at Visakhapatnam. In AP Lambasinga recorded 0⁰C on 21^st December 2014 (in 2012 on January 13^th, it recorded 0⁰C). Adilabad recorded lowest 7.2⁰C  and maximum temperature as 31.3⁰C on 24^th Dec. A 3D printer ‘made in space’ design file suggested way the instruments may be printed layer by layer at the specified space location machines and produced using the space materials of Moon and Mars, without depending on Earth bound sent materials. The dancer Kuchipudi exponent Yasoda Thakore attained with graceful abhinaya sloka of ‘Pranamami Patanjali’ in Sudha Saveri translating it into dance. Malaysia floods, covered Pahang, Kelantan, Najib Razak, and Selangor and forced 1.18lakh to flee on Friday December 26, 2014 predicting further rainfall in southern parts of the country. Malaysia's government says the flooding is the worst in more than 30 years.  The eve of 27^th Dec.,2014 gave the Gravity Waves preceding the onset of a big wind and cloudy weather that has blown from 3h30mAM to morning 6h00AM on 28^th Dec.,2014. The morning of 28^th Dec., subdued weather of big clouds of Gravity Waves scattered from west to East movement. Sri Lanka floods that displaced a million people due to incessant rains falling for over  four days prior to 27^th Dec 2014, affected 17 districts, constituted the worst floods this year.

NASA X-ray Telescopes Find Black Hole May Be a Neutrino Factory

                The giant black hole at the center of the Milky Way may be producing mysterious particles called neutrinos. Unlike light or charged particles, neutrinos can emerge from deep within their cosmic sources and travel across the universe without being absorbed by intervening matter or, in the case of charged particles, deflected by magnetic fields. Scientists have long been searching for the origin of ultra-high energy and very high-energy neutrinos.

Brrrr republic of Sakha

                  Brrrr republic of Sakha, northeast Russia Oymyakon valley (tunnels formed from crystals of permafrost outside village Tomtor) lowest temperature was recorded on Dec.,26^th 2014,  in Russia at -67.8⁰C(in 1933) yet people live in the valley with schools, a post office, a bank, and an airport open only in summer.

3D PRINTER TOOL

            Byari request of a spanner in space vehicle was sent by NASA designing it in a 3D printer ‘made in space’ facilitated print out by email to the  ISS space vehicle. As soon the code received the space vehicle 3D printer printed it. Using editing manufacturing, the inserted, the low heat plastic filament layers  assembled to produce the desired spanner. Moon and Mars elements may be used to produce various design instruments in those locations with the help of 3D printer. Design file suggested way the instruments may be printed layer by layer at the specified space location machines and produced using the space materials of Moon and Mars, without depending on Earth bound sent materials.

PUNE: UNSEASONAL RAINFALL

               CNN-IBN DEC 14 2014 AT 03H01M PM : Unseasonal rainfall in Maharashtra has hit normal life. Pune's  biggest music festival, the S. G. B. Mahotsav  had to be postponed midway due to heavy rainfall.

OBSERVATIONS

WINTER BELOW NORMAL

                    Due to a cold wave attributed to flow of northerly winds following heavy snow fall in the Himalayan region Hyderabad recorded 9.2⁰C on the Thursday December 18,  with probable lower temperatures in the next few days. Visakhapatnam recorded 22⁰C while Adilabad shivered with 4⁰C, Rentachintala and Ramagundam recorded 15⁰C and 9⁰C respectively,  Vijayawada recorded 19⁰C, Nandigama recorded 13⁰C and Mahabubanagar  16⁰C with an anti-cyclone circulation is prevalent. The minimum temperature was recorded three notches below normal at 5.1⁰C at the Safdarjung observatory, considered the official for Delhi. This was down from Thursday's 6.6⁰C. New Delhi on Friday  December 19, experienced the coldest day of the season so far with the mercury dipping further even as the weatherman predicted rains in the city. At Muralinagar in Visakhapatnam, the Gravity Waves have been observed on the 19^th December around 5h21m PM [see the report of Indonesia Volcano eruption]

Yellowstone's thermal springs: Their colors unveiled

December 19, 2014, American Institute of Physics (AIP)

              

                   Researchers have created a simple mathematical model based on optical measurements that explains the stunning colors of Yellowstone National Park’s hot springs and can visually recreate how they appeared years ago, before decades of tourists contaminated the pools with make-a-wish coins and other detritus. Using a relatively simple one-dimensional model for light propagation, the group was able to reproduce the brilliant colors and optical characteristics of Yellowstone National Park's hot springs by accounting for each pool's spectral reflection due to microbial mats, their optical absorption and scattering of water and the incident solar and diffuse skylight conditions present when measurements were taken.

YOGASANA DANCE OBEISANCE TO PATANJALI

                 The dancer Kuchipudi exponent Yasoda Thakore attained with graceful abhinaya sloka of ‘Pranamami Patanjali’ in Sudha Saveri translating it into dance. ‘Sthimitha’ a mental condition for one to attain staying calm and steady presented it in dance form. Yoga practitioners attain it through Asana, Pranayama, Dhaarana and all resulting in Gnana.  Patanjali yoga cleanses mind. She presented swarapallavi reflecting significance of body and the care you take. ‘Sthimitha Vinyasam’ in Bharatnatyam style presented by Bharatnatyam exponent Archana and she performed Suryastakam as physical silence granted by Sun God.

Severe cold wave conditions

                    Severe cold wave conditions sweeping across Rajasthan affected normal life and train services, even as people in Churu experienced the coldest night of the winter season so far with the mercury nearing the freezing point at 0.5⁰C Dec., 19. Cold conditions continued to affect normal life in Rajasthan where over 14 passenger trains were running late due to fog even as Mount Abu shivered at a low of 1⁰C.

The Dec., 20 also continued to be cold at Visakhapatnam but with full sun shine in spite of preventing clouds.

December 20 at 1:30 PM

A powerful storm is set to develop across the central and eastern United States on Christmas Eve. Impacts will linger through Christmas Day.  Coming a few days after the official start of winter, the main story is less likely to be snow than big wind and areas of heavy rain.

It was a cold, foggy Saturday morning here, delaying over 30 trains in Delhi. Below Graph of 20^th December 2014 temperatures in AP.

COMET LOVEJOY

This picture on Dec. 21st using a remotely-operated telescope in Namibia. The comet's sinuous blue ion tail contrasts beautifully with its puffy green atmosphere. The colors come from ionized carbon monoxide (CO+) and diatomic carbon (C2), which glow blue and green, respectively, in the near-vacuum of interplanetary space. Last night (Dec. 23rd), the comet was easy to see in binoculars as a 5th magnitude fuzzy star. Comet Lovejoy, aka C/2014 Q2, as it appeared on Tuesday night, December 23. It was low in the south well below Orion in the constellation of Columba the dove. The comet was discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy last August. However, in mid-January Comet Lovejoy will be very high in the sky as its moves through Taurus, with the Moon out of the way. By then the comet may be brighter and a naked eye object from dark sites.

BEIJING: 22 December 2014 10:45 am

         Glaciers in China that are a critical source of water for drinking and irrigation in India are receding fast, according to a new comprehensive inventory. In the short term, retreating glaciers may release greater melt water, but it will be exhausted when glaciers disappear under a continuous warming, as per the survey for the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute in Lanzhou. the latest inventory flags a marked retreat of glaciers in the southern and eastern fringes of the Tibetan Plateau. We found the fastest shrinking glaciers are those in the central upper reach of the Brahmaputra River, between the central north Himalaya [and] the source region of the tributary of the Indus River.

 Dec., 27^th, 2014 FLOODS SRI LANKA AND MALAYSIA     

 

        Sri Lanka floods that displaced a million people, from over 270,000families, due to incessant rains falling for over past four days, killed about 17 people,  spread over 17 districts, constitute the worst floods this year.

       Malaysia floods, covered Pahang, Kelantan, Najib Razak, and Selangor and forced 1.18lakh to flee on Friday December 26, 2014 predicting further rainfall in southern parts of the country. People are wading through 6.5feet deep flood waters, and the latest has forced people evacuated to north-east. Weather forecasters warned there would be no respite for north-eastern states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. Malaysia's government says the flooding is the worst in more than 30 years.
