ABSTRACT
The 5:44 AM on 9 March 2016,
may be termed as the end of the total Solar Eclipse since the next few seconds
the Sun blazed with its glare. This is an exemplary record of
the Sun Eclipse as it started clearing its cover by the Moon. The moment has
been remarkably captured, in the mountain view set up from the terrace of a VUDA Complex at Muralinagar, Visakhapatnam.
Possible existence of a second type of Gravitational Force was conjectured by the present author years ago, [in 1977 Mysore Science Congress Report local newspapers] a publication made in Shivaji University, journal Kolhapur-416004, where he was employed as a Professor of Physics in India.
15 Jan 2010 pictures recorded by me of the Solar Eclipse at Visakhapatnam are also presented.
I conjectured the existence of a second kind of gravitational force and possible existence of strange quark stars etc. The conjecture was widely reported in national news papers of 1977 in India especially in Mysore ISCA meet reviews. The VC of SU Kolhapur was very fascinated by these articles.
DETAILS
Millions of people
across Indonesia and other regions in the Pacific witnessed a solar eclipse on March
9, 2016. Indonesia and the Central Pacific saw a total solar eclipse, while
parts of Asia and Australia witnessed a partial one. According to NASA, the
eclipse covered an area of over 8,800 miles (14,162 km) long and 97 miles (156
km) wide at its broadest.

At time t1 (decimal hours), each
Besselian element is evaluated by:
a = a0 + a1*t + a2*t^2 +
a3*t^3 (or a = Σ [an*t^n]; n = 0 to 3)
where: a = x, y, d, l1, l2, or μ

The Besselian elements were derived from a least-squares fit to elements
Calculated at five uniformly spaced times over a six hour period centreed
at t0.
The Besselian elements are valid over the
period -1.00 ≤ t0 ≤ 5.00 TDT.
Note that all times are expressed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT).

From
Space 9 March 2016
A number of
astronomy institutes are hosting live streams of the event. Apart from AP and Telangana, partial solar eclipse
will also be visible in some parts of Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat,
Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, MP, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Odisha,
Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, UP and West Bengal.
Thousands of people in Singapore woke up to the phenomenon of a solar eclipse on Wednesday (Mar 9)
morning. The entire eclipse, which begins with the first patch of darkness
appearing on the edge of the sun, will last about three hours.
While the per cent of
obscuration in India is ranging between 8 to 49 per cent, the Hyderabadis would
be able to see only 12 per cent of Sun disk being covered by Moon between
6.29 am and 6.47 am. On the other hand, in parts of Indonesia, 100 per cent
solar eclipse will be visible.
Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai,
Coimbatore, Gurgaon, Guwahati, Gwalior, Hyderabad, Indore, Kochi, Kolkata,
Lucknow, Nagpur, New Delhi, Noida, Ujjain, and Varanasi would observe partial
Solar Eclipse. Outside India, Kathmandu, Dhaka, Colombo, Bangkok, Singapore,
Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Honolulu and Darwin are some of the big cities where
partial Solar Eclipse would be visible The total solar eclipse will be first visible from India's extreme
north-east places like Kohima, in Nagaland, Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh and
Imphal in Manipur where sun rises earlier than other locations in India. In India the
visibility of the sun during eclipse will be 15 percent in Agartala, Tripura,
24.5 percent in Bhubaneshwar, Orrisa, 11 percent in Guwahati, Assam, 18.5
percent in Kolkata, West Bengal, 12 percent in Patna, Bihar, 49 percent in Port
Blair, Andaman and Nicobar, and 12 percent in Silchar, Assam. The total eclipse will sweep across 12 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia,
which stretches about 3,000 miles (5,000 km) from east to west, before heading
across the Pacific Ocean.

The author reports for the first time the
Visakhapatnam’s observations of the SKY in the morning of 9 March 2016 from 5:31 AM
to about 6:22 AM of the Day of Solar Eclipse. Pictures taken are presented blow.
The sky was dark in the morning, till 5:41 AM but by 5:44 AM it started clearing,
revealing the release of Eclipsed Sun from the hold. At 5:44 AM the release was
within a few seconds, the pictures given as 6 and 7 below show the dramatic
effect of release.
The total Solar Eclipse best
seen in Australia and Thailand.

(Belitung Island). Arizona.
Solar Eclipse in Odisha and New Delhi
Odisha The partial solar eclipse is expected to start at 05:38:25 in the morning and will approximately last till 06:50:43 in the morning.
New Delhi News
The Indian Ministry of Earth Science had said that the partial phase of eclipse
will begin from 4:49 am (IST) on Wednesday and will end at 9:08 am (IST).
It said that the visibility of the sun during eclipse will be 15% in
Agartala, 11% in Guwahati, Assam, 12% in Silchar, Assam, 12% in Patna, Bihar,
18.5% in Kolkata, West Bengal, 24.5% in Bhubaneshwar, Orrisa, 49% in Port
Blair, Andaman and Nicobar. Considering the Earth as a whole the partial phase of the eclipse will
begin at 4:49 am while the total phase will begin at 5:47 am. The total phase
will end at 9:08 am and partial phase 10:05 am. In India obscuration of the Sun
by the Moon at the time of greatest phase of partial eclipse will be around
24.5 percent in Bhubaneswar, 18.5 percent in Kolkata and 49 percent in Port
Blair.

The first appreciation by him was when I have photographed the Comet in

The "cosmod" transformation proposed by
the present author (KLN) in 1976-1977 relates the graviton mass with the rest
mass energy of a Spin 2 elementary particle (f-meson)
and I have also
classified it as an element under unitary transformations of a nonet. As a result
I conjectured the existence of a second kind of gravitational force and
possible existence of strange Quark stars etc. The conjecture was widely
reported in national news papers of 1977.
