The significant finding is in respect of the spectra of the Moon that exhibited clearly the difference in the spectral features of the shadowed region of lunar surface by Earth and the unaffected the edge region of the crescent Lunar tip.

INTRODUCTION

The second week of February 2011 started with unusual weather conditions of two fold nature. One of a westerly back-to-back disturbance that moved over from Pakistan and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir side to the Eastern Himalayan States with a splinter into the Gangetic valley and the Rajasthan etc North India states. Yet another ‘active’ western disturbance, which will started affecting the western Himalayan region from Tuesday Feb 22nd 2011 onwards.
Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal and north Andhra Pradesh were affected by rains on Sunday 20th and Monday 21st Feb 2011. Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, north Rajasthan, west Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha were among those regions that have been hit on Sunday itself.
Minimum temperatures were below normal by 2 to 3 deg Celsius over east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Assam and above normal by 2 to 3 deg Celsius over Rajasthan, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. The lowest minimum temperature of 6 deg Celsius during the last 24 hours ending Sunday 20th Feb 2011 morning was recorded at Adampur in Punjab in the plains of the country. Satellite imagery on Sunday afternoon showed convective (rain-bearing) clouds over parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, ready to snow cover the hills and down the slopes in the northwest.
A few places like in Jaipur, Bani Park, Ramgarh Mode and Brahmpuri areas reported hailstorm. Karimnagar and Adilabad were badly affected by the hailstorms on Sunday evening. Ellampalli was worst hit. The temperature also dipped in some parts of the Rajasthan state following the rain which brought chilly winds. Isolated rain or thundershowers with hail was also reported at many places in the state. Ganganagar had 5.4 mm of rain during the day followed by Churu, 4 mm, and Pilani, 2 mm. Light drizzles were reported at a few places including Bikaner division where isolated rain has been on since Saturday night.
The other is a low depression trough formation near the coastal Andhra Pradesh. Visakhapatnam and Ramagundam received 2 cm rainfall each. Pre-monsoon showers are experienced only from the middle of March. Environmentalists and research workers attribute these sudden changes in weather pattern to climate change and global warming. Some feel that the drop in the temperatures and spells of rain was a result of the presence of an upper circulation in Kolkata and Orissa and its neighborhood. The Anantpur Ghats were covered with heavy fog making the visibility very poor for vehicular traffic.

An anti-cyclone and the long persisting upper air trough over the state triggered the unusual rainfall. Rain at this time of the year is unusual. There was similar rainfall in February 2009 as well observed Mr. R V Subba Rao, Assistant Meteorologist, Met department.
The country's deadliest natural disaster in 80 years struck at 1251 (2351 GMT on Monday), 10km (6.2 miles) south-east of the city Christchurch when it was at its busiest. The quake caused some 30m tons of ice to shear away from New Zealand's biggest glacier. Witnesses say massive icebergs formed when the Tasman Glacier in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park broke, tossing a nearby lake with huge waves. A series of aftershocks, some as big as magnitude 5, have already rattled the stricken city, and officials warned residents to brace for more. The tremor caused widespread damage as it occurred at a shallow depth of 5km (3.1 miles) during lunchtime when Christchurch was at its busiest. The quake caused some 30m tons of ice to shear away from New Zealand's biggest glacier.

Our observations:

The astronomy events of Moon with the background star constellations on specific time and dates have been meticulously observed in India as festival days. This is significant that even a common man in India is able to follow the celestial cycle of apparent movements of the constellations and possible terrestrial events that would be either enchanting or would bring misery. The observation on the 18th February the Full Moon day a very broad Rao droplets wave suspended above the sea waters is a far reaching and significant observation made at 18h33mPM. A jump in Red irradiance of the lunar shine reflection seems to be fascinating. On the beach sand soaked with the salt sea water the red irradiance has penetrated deep into the wet soil. The Venus is weaning away in brightness and also the fog weather making it not possible to be captured spectrally by the digital camera. The sudden rains that lashed in India could have been driven by the Solar Winds of the CME’s produced on 18th, 19th and 20th of February 2011. The night visibility continued to be low during the second fortnight of February 2011 due to the fog and cloudy weather that has not cleared away since 18th February 2011. Hence many bright stars became un visible and could not be captured by digital photography. The Magha Pournima (The Full Moon) shine Irradiance spectral shifts due to Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta are very much evident in that the color separations are very vivid in the spectral analysis of the 18th February 2011 at 18h50m. Contrasting radioactive elemental foam spectra of the Bay of Bengal Sea waves has been suggested to support the concept of the role of Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta. On the 21st February the Sun Spectrum was one of a brilliant Yellow while the Moon spectrum has very little yellow band. On the 24th morning the Venus and the moon duo could be captured in the frame of digital photography. But alas the recorded of spectra became very elusive due to bad cloudy weather conditions. But on the 27th morning both the Venus and Moon spectra could be obtained with some effort. The significant finding is in respect of the spectra of the Moon that exhibited clearly the difference in the spectral features of the shadowed region of lunar surface by Earth and the unaffected the edge region of the crescent Lunar tip. The broadening and the shift in the spectra are suggested the possible role of the Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta scattering by the two distinct regions of the lunar surface. This is very much evident from the images obtained on the 28th February 2011morning. The Moon and Venus were found to be having only one nearby bright star possibly of the Leo Constellation the REGULUS.

RESULTS & A FUTURISTIC OUTLOOK:

The significant finding is in respect of the spectra of the Moon that exhibited clearly the difference in the spectral features of the shadowed region of lunar surface by Earth and the unaffected the edge region of the crescent Lunar tip. The broadening and the shift in the spectra are suggested the possible role of the Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta scattering by the two distinct regions of the lunar surface. Similar features have been also found from the sea wave foam and the atmosphere near the sea shore of the Visakhapatnam Coastal Beach. The research findings over the last few years on force fields and the Astronomy study of the sky and as well the weather conditions revealed the possibility of a RAONIUM to exist that has a half life about a few nanoseconds.

A powerful solar flare, hurled into space when superhot gases erupted on the sun Sunday 20th Feb 2011, might cause a display of the aurora borealis for parts of the northern United States overnight Monday night. . The sun unleashed the solar flare yesterday at about 12:30 p.m. EST from a sunspot region that was barely visible last week. Since then, it has grown in size to more than 62,000 miles across — nearly eight times the width of our Earth. The flare was categorized by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado as a Class M6.6 and is the strongest solar flare observed in 2011

NASA: Sunday's 20th Feb 2011, solar flare occurred near the middle of the sun's disk, meaning that the resultant explosion of electrified particles could be "geoeffective," that is, directed toward the Earth. So, in essence, our planet was "in the crosshairs" of this solar explosion and would thus increase the chance that an aurora display might result. Ideally, the associated stream of particles could reach the Earth 37 hours after the flare's eruption.

ABSTRACT
The spectra of absorption of Infra Red by the Thallium Vapour and analysis made by Prof K Rangadhama Rao D.Sc (Madras ) D.Sc (London). during the years 1920-1924, a part of his D Sc (Madras) Thesis, at different densities of the heated vapour up to about 800 deg C clearly demonstrates the existence of Rao and Anti-Rao Quanta.
Introduction:
The late Prof K Rangadhama Rao often expressed that the extraordinary and innumerable of spectral lines that would eventually be observed by using more sophisticated instruments and methods of experimental techniques suggests a profound underlying mechanism of Quanta and the quantum behavior of the fundamental matter. He was engrossed and helped both his mentors and the students alike in the pursuit and understanding of the quantum nature of the spectra of several elements, polyatomic molecules and the diatomic molecules during the early stages of his post-graduate education and at the Intermediate level of college education. Undoubtedly he was one of the most profound experimentalist and an expert analyst. The uncanny abilities of Prof K Rangadhama Rao have not been supported by his colleagues, mentors and students. This is so in spite the fact that he was singularly responsible for the unassuming way he helped many a people. He was a man never admitted that he had enemies.
Experimental arrangement
In all these experiments the experimental tube was of steel and was heated in a charcoal furnace, designed especially for the purpose, through which a powerful blast of compressed air was maintained. A diagrammatic sketch of the experimental arrangement is given in Fig 1. (See Fig 6 of this article). The metal was kept in vacuum in all these experiments and the density of vapour was increased gradually by raising the temperature and the absorption spectrum was photographed at different stages to study the effect of temperature on absorption.

Fig 6 of Experimental arrangement Fig1, P.9 of Prof KRRao DSc (Madras) Thesis during the Yrs 1920-24.
Absorption in the Infra Red
As it was thought that it would be possible to explore this region more thoroughly by an automatic device than by making personal observations at different wave-lengths, such a device was used in these experiments for recording the galvanometer deflections. This device consisted of the falling plate camera in which the photographic plate was allowed to rise vertically behind a narrow horizontal slit, on to which the reflected spot from the Galvanometer was directly connected through a series of pulleys to the shaft of a spring motor, used also to rotates the wave-length drum of the spectrometer. The speed of the motor could be adjusted within wide limits and both the photographic plate and the wave-length drum could be simultaneously started or stopped.
In order to take the incident and transmitted energy curves, the metal being kept in vacuum and the beam of light allowed to pass through the tube, the incident energy curve was first obtained and then the tube was heated to about 8000 c and the transmitted energy curve was taken in the same region. As a result of both visual observation and photographic examination it has been found that the vapour does not allow selective absorption in this region and that 1π2- 1π1 I not absorbed by the non-luminous vapour of the metal Being forbidden by the selection Principle it did not appear in Mahler and Ruak’s experiments at the proper excitation potential and in these experiments remained unabsorbed by the non-luminous vapour. Unlike the metals of Groups I and II the resonance collision is not followed by the emission of the corresponding single line spectrum. The 1.07Volt resonance impact is therefore a peculiar type of collision which results, as pointed out by Ruark, only in the production of a metastable form of Thallium in which the atoms are mostly in 1π1 state ---- a state which may be produced by heating the vapour up to about 8000 c. The existence of such collisions has not yet been found in the case of the other elements of the Group by; they can be easily predicted from the spectroscopy data.

I have known Dr. K. Rangadhama Rao from his
researches in spectroscopy, and also personally last
year when he spent about two weeks in my laboratory. In my
opinion, he has done exceptionally good work in
Spectroscopy, which has received honourable mention in
standard books and also from the authorities in the
subject. I shall be very glad if he is awarded a scholar
ship to enable him to proceed to foreign countries. I
am sure that he will prove to be one of India’s best
investigators in the Physical Science.

ADDENDUM
The Infra Red spectra of polyatomic molecules were investigated under his guidance by Dr SGVLN Krishnamachari (BARC) and subsequently by Dr Veturi Ramakrishna Rao(Defence Research), by Dr C Santhamma and many a others at the Researxh Centre of Prof K Rangadhama Rao D Sc (Madras ) D. Sc (London). Even to date Dr C Santhmma has been analyzing the Infra Red spectra of several materials along with her students.
It goes without emphasizing the fact that Prof K Rnagadhama Rao submitted his D Sc Thesis immediately following the award of the D Sc degree to Dr A L Narayana the Head of the Dept. of Physics of Maharaja College Vizianagaram. Prof K Rangadhama Rao has not received any help financial or otherwise from the Maharaja of Vizianagaram. The Madras University had its only research centre in Andhra region located in Vizianagaram hence due to paucity of funds to maintain himself at Madras; he had no go, other than to pursue his research ambitions in Vizianagaram for securing a highest academic degree.

Worth Millions of Dollars of Current as well of Antique Value :

The apparatus and the scientific material belonging to Andhra University, Waltair of this Research centre of Prof KRRao D Sc (Madras ) D. Sc (London). is worth millions of dollars of current as well of Antique value. Efforts should be made to acquire them by the concerned authority.

ABSTRACT
The weather in Visakhapatnam in the first week was without clouds and during the night time was of mild cold and lot of mosquitoes. The use of ceiling fans for circulation of air has increased due to humid conditions. There was a slight tremor on 4th February 2011 unasserted in Medak district in the 8h45mPM in Bondhegav village and on February 4th 2011 during the night time fire streams have occurred through about 20 holes formed in the ground in Malkapuram village, of Dharmavaram Mandalam, Ananthpuram district in Andhra Pradesh agricultural field. The bore like holes created due to the up surging fire flames have been covered on the periphery with melted iron metal-like material. The 5th Feb 2011 there were tremors in the South Eastern states of India of magnitude 5.6R at 7h34mPM with the epicenter near Manipur state and the India-Myanmar (Burma) border. Sun Day has been observed on 10th Feb 2011 at Arasuvalli in Srikakulum District Andhra Pradesh from midnight 12h30m on Thursday to 4h PM. The Moon lit sky of 16th Feb 2011 was extraordinarily fine and at 5h25mon 17th Feb 2011 there were slight rain drop clouds passing over almost on the ground level in the Coastal region of Visakhapatnam.
INTRODUCTION
The sky in Visakhapatnam was with no clouds but visibility was obscured considerably. The warm conditions have started reminding of the onset of summer of 2011. The evening of 1st Feb 2011 on the west there were clouds at the time of Sun set. Following days there were no clouds and the Moon on the west was not visible till the 4th Feb 2011.The Chile city Santiago information of UGS of America, that there was an earthquake in central Chile of magnitude 6.6R with epicenter west of Talca around 97km distance. There was no tsunami following it. In India the festival of Learning of Goddess Sarswathi was observed especially in the city of Basara near Karimdistrict.The birth of learning goddess around 2AM on Vasant Panchami morning prayers were performed and since 5AM the initiation of learning was carried for more than 70,000 children and it netted about Rs10lacs to the temple. This Saraswathi temple is in the region of Byansa bordering Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Magha Pournima the Full Moon day is observed on 17th February 2011 at Achyutapuram in Visakhapatnam district with worship of Jagannadha the Lord of world with the stars of Ashlesh (six stars Hydra) and Pushyami (3 stars Cancer).

OUR OBSERVATIONS
From the 1st Feb 2011 the west sky continues to be full of environmental pollution in Visakhapatnam. On that evening the red setting Sun, with the hovering Crescent Moon is a scenario of great captivating power and up above the sky the changing slight pattern of atmosphere colors with the fog-haze mixed scattering of the Sun light is panoramic. The sea of Bay of Bengal was very calm and in the evenings around 6h15m it was found to acquire the phenomenal Astana Grey color. There was a slight tremor on 4th February 2011 unasserted in Medak district in the 8h45mPM in Bondhegav village and on February 4th 2011 during the night time fire streams have occurred through about 20 holes formed in the ground in Malkapuram village, of Dharmavaram Mandalam, Ananthpuram district in Andhra Pradesh agricultural field. The bore like holes created due to the up surging fire flames have been covered on the periphery with melted iron metal-like material. Heavy Fog settled down in the Araku Valley and Burrah Caves region of Visakhapatnam. The 5th Feb 2011 there were tremors in the South Eastern states of India of magnitude 5.6R at 7h34mPM with the epicenter in the India-Myanmar (Burma) border and has given rise to formation of low lying clouds. In the evening of 5th Feb 2011 the Hunter constellation was observed on the sea shore but the boundary of the sky and sea weather could be vividly digital image captured. On the 7th Feb 2011 evening at around 8h30mPM the visibility was very low and the Jupiter became obscured for digital image capture. The other stars couldn’t be seen in the sky. The warmth of the Sun on morning of 8th Feb 2011 was less intense and the Sun Shine was not bright. This day has been observed in India as the initiation day by the children for learning and the goddess Saraswathi worshiped. The Moon existed in Pisces constellation near to ζ star.

The great festival Sun Day of this year 2011 has been observed on 10th Feb 2011 at Arasuvalli Sun Temple in Srikakulum District, Andhra Pradesh from midnight 12h30m on Thursday to 4h PM. It is regarded as the Radha Sapthami Day meaning thereby that the Sun who is in the House of Yama and from there he would start the journey towards the North. The Chile city Santiago information of UGS of America, that there was an earthquake on 13th Feb 2011 in central Chile of magnitude 6.6R with epicenter west of Talca around 97km distance. The Visakhapatnam Sea had a slight roaring sound in the morning of 14th Feb 2011.
In the evening of 16th February the clouds have gathered moving from South to the North even though the day sun shine was hot enough to remind the oncoming summer days. The Moon lit sky of 16th Feb 2011 was extraordinarily fine and at 5h25mon 17th Feb 2011 there were slight rain drop clouds passing over almost on the ground level in the Coastal region of Visakhapatnam. It is not clear why the Magha (Leo Constellation) Maha Pournima recommends the bathing in Sindhu river of India. The Venus spectrum in the morning of 17th February 2011 was barely visible due to the cloudy atmosphere.

ADDENDUM:
The Sun worship begins with bathing in the sea with Jilledu Leafs (a wild milk yielding plant with fruits) and Regi fruits (a local variety of berry fruits) on the head and supposed to ward off all kinds of diseases. The Sankranthi festival (Makara Nakshtra Day- Bhogi) prepared cow-dung cakes with the dried Jasmine flowers in them are burnt on the Radha Saptami day, to boil cow’s milk in a pot and taken as the sacred soft drink. It is supposed to give a healthy life. Protrasting exercises (termed the Surya Namaksarams) a minimum number 13 times in front of the rising Sun in the East early morning would be beneficial for a prosperous life.
It seems the milky way Sun could get only 116 verities of rays, the Agni fire of it has only 108 rays and the Moon has about 132 rays acquired all, of course, (a part) from the eternal light of trillions of Suns, possibly meaning thereby the Big Bang explosion of the Universe.
The seven colors of the Sun Chariot horses are described as Violet (Brinjal Color), Indigo (Jambaki Fruit Neelam), Neelam, Green (Akupachha of the leaf), Yellow of the (root sticks Pasupu), Orange (ka'shaa'yee Saffron) and red (Rose flower).Udha Rangu is mix of red and Bringal Neelam which also yields the Magenta color.

The Varahmihira units of rain fall are Pala, Adhaka(=50 palas i.e.1.6cm) and Drona(=6.4cm =4 times Adhaka) Circular Vessel of diameter equal to 20human fingers distance or one human arm and depth of width of eight fingers used for measure of rain fall. Formation of rain clouds Gharbha dharana takes 195 days before rain fall or birth i.e.Garbha prasava. Clouds in dark-half of Margashirasha deliver in the bright half of Ashada. Conceived in dark half of Pausha are delivered in bright half of Sravana. Conceived in the dark-half of Magha are delivered in the bright-half of Bhadrapada. Rain formation happens in Moon transit of Purvabhadhra commencing the first day of lunar month of Margashirasha. Four types of clouds are Abhatak: certain places, Sambarkar: in all parts of the country, Pushkar: less rain fall and Drona: Abundant rain fall. SapthaNadi or Dwinadi or Trinadi categories used for rain fall predictions.
