INTRODUCTION
              Gravity Waves observed on the eve of 16 Feb 2016 at Visakhapatnam.  They continued to occur the next Two days.

PREAMBLE         

Tue Feb 16, 2016 8:31 AM EST
Winter storm hits U.S. North-East Coast, tornadoes tear into South
          From 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) of snow blanketed Washington by nightfall, with less accumulation forecast for New York City. National Weather Service meteorologist Patrick Burke said the snow would turn into freezing rain and then rain amid rising temperatures. A high school was damaged in Wesson, Mississippi, and a fire department headquarters was destroyed in Conecuh County, Alabama, the National Weather Service said. In Escambia County, Florida, about 30 homes were damaged. Almost 1,600 U.S. flights were cancelled, mostly at Washington, North Carolina and New York-area airports, according to flight tracking website. Record cold intensified by gusting winds gripped US North-East on the Southern edge of the cold front affected Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle were hit by heavy rain, hail and tornadoes. Escambia County Florida several homes were damaged or destroyed rescue teams searching for trapped residents in debris.  Buffalo was expected to get 12 inches of snow.

 SEM revealed meteorite Feb 6
                                         
Fig.1 The meteorite which fell at an Engineering College
                      It was indeed a meteorite, which fell inside Bharathidasan Engineering College that killed a driver in Engineering College at Vellore and shattered window panes of buildings and buses. SEM revealed the characteristics of the carbonaceous chondrites. All the buildings were mildly affected by the impact of the meteorite. They termed it as “BEC 1”.

2D semi-conducting SnO 16 Feb
                      New York India origin engineer discovered a new kind of 2D semi-conducting material for electronics that allows much speedier computers and smart phones that consume a lot less power. The semi-conductor made of SnO. The material benefit is that it is made of one layer the thickness of just one or two atoms. 

GRAVITY WAVES IN VISAKHAPATNAM
               The Gravity Waves do they arrange in orderly manner to project out the Ice crystals in the sky in a very regular pattern. The ordinary cloud formations can also be seen along with these Ice cloud crystal splendour of the Sky. Especially in Visakhapatnam they occur very bright and offer a compelling scenario of the sky.

         The pictures of the clouds (nacreous) indicate ice particle formations quite often seen in Visakhapatnam. Why is that they stream line? 

Earth Quake sensitive dates of this year
                   January 1-4; February 27-29; March 1, 10-11, 16-17, 19-22; April 20-24; May 7-8; August 14-16, 29-30; September 1-3, 14-15, 19-21; October 6-9, 21-22, 27-28; November 6-9, 17-18, 22-24, 30; December 1-3. Planets cause Quakes, Prof. C. Jaganathan, Birla Institute of Technology, at Mesra in Ranchi, published in Journal of Advances in Remote Sensing, GIS and Geography, latest issue. All spatial locations of resultant gravity vectors (RGV) resulting from all combinations of major planets, were identified, and whenever a planetary vector crosses those RGVs, a gravity ripple is created and it perturbs the Earth's orbital path. This alters the movement pattern on the surface of as well the underground. [The New Indian Express, 16 Feb 2016]. Gravity Waves observed by me  on the 16 Feb 2016 seemingly agree with dates given by Prof. Jaganathan Chockalingam and two co-authors, but they predicted the dates for the occurrence of Earth Quakes in India and not Gravity Waves.

                         A 5.9 R moderate earthquake on Sunday jolted parts of Pakistan's north-western Khyber Pakthunkhwa province but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.  The earthquake with a focal depth 157 km hit different parts of Khyber Pakthunkhwa in north-west Pakistan at 14.12 hours Feb 21, 2016, 07.32 PM IST. The epicentre of the quake was at Hindu Kush mountain range inside Afghanistan at a depth.  The area which felt the tremor include north-western cities and tribal regions like Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Swat and Bajaur tribal agency.  

February 21, 2016:


Fig.10 The Alaskan Aurora on 21 Feb 2016.
                              The aurora forecast for tonight 21 Feb 2016, and the next few nights are quiet. No significant aurora activity is expected. Up north, such as in the Fairbanks area, we expect to see the “typical” quiet aurora band across the horizon. The Kp level at most is predicted to be Kp 2. Cloudy skies may block the view, as auroras are more than 60 miles upwards in the atmosphere. The aurora colours can appear any time of year, any time of the night. The colours depend on the electrons entering the earth’s upper atmosphere, colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen at various altitudes. Red is a bit more rare than green but it is seen. We see pinks much more often up here in Alaska, usually on the edge of a green aurora.  

7:02AM GMT 18 Feb 2016
           Japan successfully launched a jointly developed space observation satellite on Wednesday tasked with studying mysterious black holes, the country's space agency said. The ASTRO-H satellite, developed in collaboration between the agency, NASA and other groups, is set to orbit at an altitude of about 360 miles and observe X-rays emanating mainly from black holes and galaxy clusters. It was launched at 5:45 pm (8.45am GMT).
AFRICAN CHILDREN EFFECTED
         UN says El Nino drought has left a million African children severely malnourished: Thursday 18 February 2016. Lesotho, Zimbabwe and most of South Africa declare emergencies, while in Ethiopia, the number of people in need of food assistance is expected to almost double from 10 million to 18 million

18 FEB 2016 PERU HOT RIVER
Fig.4 Peru Hot River Wonder of The World.
Incredible boiling hot River is discovered in the Amazon.jpg
             For centuries, Peruvian locals have talked about a river in the Amazon that burns so hot it can kill. According to legend, Spanish conquistadors foolishly ventured into the rainforest in search of gold, and the few men that returned told stories of poisoned water, man-eating snakes, and a River that boiled from below. It was steaming hot. When I saw this, I immediately grabbed for my thermometer, said Ruzo in a TED talk in 2014. He published a book. Average temperature in the River was 86 degrees Celsius, not quite boiling but definitely close enough, it is not a legend and the water enters deep in the earth to become hot and steams blow out. The scenario is so outstanding in the midst of trees and hills. This hot water joins the River water and flows down. The width of River is 25 meters, depth is about 6 meters and length of the River is 6.24 km.  These 'Earth arteries' are filled with hot water, and when they come to the surface, we see geothermal manifestations,  like the boiling river. This means the system is part of an enormous hydrothermal system, the likes of which haven't been seen anywhere else on the planet. The water is used to make tea and for cooking the mother of the discoverer. The river in Mayantuyacu, Peru has been found by geoscientist AndrĂ©s Ruzo who followed up on what was thought to be a legend because science says it shouldn't exist. 


WEATHER IN VISAKHAPATNAM AND El Nino
         The clear sky made the city hot since last four days, report on 19 Feb 2016, the temperatures in Telangana and Andhra are about 3 to 5 degrees excess, in several places, but due to the winds from the North, the night temperatures are far below. People feeling the cold in the night like the winter. El Nino might get lost in the middle of this year. Day temperature around 38 , which is 3 to 6 degrees excess over normal temperature, and falling down by about 3 to 6 degrees during the night because of the wet winds from the Sea. About 15 to 20  C Degrees difference persisting between day and night temperatures. This year El Nino is withdrawing. But increase in Ocean temperatures is effecting the coastal atmosphere. Most effective El Nino in the last 15 years similar to the occurrence in  1882-83 and 1997-98. Africa southern parts and Middle America experiencing the loss of life and shortage of drinking water, in spite of sudden floods. Lost nine months the increase in temperature is being noticed. In 2016 January saw an increase of 2.03 C temperature.    

RED BLOOD RIVER SUPER-SALTY 
Fig.5  Bloodfalls.jpg
                    When water from the subglacial lake seeps through a fissure in the glacier, the salty water cascades down the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney below. When the iron-rich water comes into contact with the air, it rusts - depositing blood red stains on the ice as it falls." Not only is the blood-red, super-salty water severely lacking in oxygen and any exposure to light, it also happens to be home to some extremely odd wildlife. When the lake was forming million of years ago, tiny microbes moved in, and found themselves trapped when the glaciers grew and set on top. The microbes have been thriving in the lake ever since, sourcing the energy they need by breaking down sulphates - naturally occurring substances that contain sulphur and oxygen.
Fiji Cyclone Category Five

                       Fiji was on Saturday, 20 Feb 2016, struck by its most powerful ever cyclone, according to reports, as the island nation battened down the hatches with a blanket curfew and mass evacuations. The category five super-storm hit the main island of Viti Levu overnight, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre, with flights cancelled and evacuation centres activated earlier in the day. Severe tropical cyclone Winston, with average winds of 220 km (136 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 315 km per hour, was the first ever category five storm to hit the nation, the Fiji Times reported.  In Fiji, 17 dead from 'monster' Cyclone Winston, schools shuttered for a week.  0224 GMT (1024 HKT) February 22, 2016. Schools, however, will be closed in Fiji for one week, the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development and National Disaster Management said. 
                    Winds that reached 296 kph (184 mph) lashed the tiny island nation in the Pacific, felling trees, knocking out power and causing heavy flooding, Now that Tropical Cyclone Winston has passed, the arduous tasks of clean up and damage assessment from the most powerful storm on record in the Southern Hemisphere has begun. 24 Feb 2016: The death toll in Fiji has jumped to 42 amid fears for remote areas and islands yet to be reached by relief teams, days after a devastating cyclone. Cyclone Winston, thought to be one of the strongest storms to hit the Southern Hemisphere, left 8,500 sheltering in evacuation centres.

Himachal Pradesh 
               Shimla experienced widespread rainfall on the higher reaches on Saturday, 20 Feb 2016, ending a long dry spell in the hill state. Many of the middle and lower hill areas received snow intermingled with rains. Various districts reported moderate-to-heavy rain fall in last 24 hours. About 31 cm snow fall recorded at Keylong in Lahaul-Spiti district and more than four feet at 13,000 feet high Rohtang Pass. Also at Kunzum Pass, Baralach Pass, Mani Mahesh of Chamba, Dhauladhar ranges of Kangra district.

New Delhi 
             Cold conditions prevailed across North India on Friday, 19 Feb 206  with mercury dipping in many parts of the region following snowfall in hilly areas including Kashmir where the authorities issued an avalanche warning for higher reaches.
Fig.8 The Jammu & Kashmir snow fall 19 Feb 2016.
                   a. In Jammu and Kashmir, intermittent snowfall continued in upper reaches of Kashmir Valley even as mercury plummeted by several degrees, intensifying cold wave. Srinagar also recorded a drop and settled at minus 0.8 degrees Celsius. Srinagar experienced intermittent rains and snowfall throughout the day yesterday as a result of which the maximum temperature fell to 5.3 degrees Celsius - four degrees below normal during this part of the season. 
                       b. Pahalgam recorded 14 inches of snow and a drop of two degrees in the night temperature which settled at minus 2.4 degrees Celsius. The 3,880-metre high cave shrine of Amarnath and adjoining hills witnessed heavy snowfall.

SOLAR POWER: Tue, Aug 18 2015. 07 35 PM IST: 
                   Cochin becomes world’s first solar-run airport. Kerala’s Cochin International Airport has become the first airport in the world that would be running fully on solar power. Kerala’s Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) has become the first airport in the world that would be running fully on solar power. The airport officially commissioned a 12 MW solar project on Tuesday.  The state’s chief minister Oomman Chandy commissioned the project constructed on 45 acres near the cargo complex of the airport. The project was executed by Bosch Ltd at a cost of Rs. 62 crore in about six months.                         24 Feb 2016: Pak Parliament to run on world's first solar power use. It was financed and built by China, at a cost of $55 million as an act of friendship.

ANDHRA AND TELENGANA TEMPERATURE
                   Nizamabad recorded on Feb 23, 2016 a temperature of 41 C, Anatpuram 40 C, Kurnool 39 C, and Hyderabad 38.7 C. Visakhapatnam recorded only 29.8 C.

18-02-2016: Wed. Feb 17 
        As of this posting at 11 PM, 0.52" of rain has fallen in the Foothills of LosAngeles CA.

Rains lash Kolkata Published on Wed, Feb 24 2016 12:45 IST
               Rains have finally made a comeback over Kolkata and that too with a bang. Extremely heavy rain lashed the capital city of West Bengal, with Dum Dum Observatory recording 96 mm of rain in span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, 24 Feb 2016. A cyclonic circulation has developed over Bangladesh and Gangetic west Bengal. Under its influence, scattered rains will continue for another 24 hours over Kolkata but a similar heavy spell is not likely.

04:36, UKWednesday 24 February 2016                        Three Killed As Tornadoes Hit US Deep South, Governors in both Louisiana and Mississippi declare states of emergency after the storms hit the Deep South.U.S. East lashed by severe storms that kills 3 in Gulf Coast states:
                           Wreckage covers the grounds of a mobile home park a day after it was hit by a tornado, in Convent, Louisiana. : The National Weather Service (NWS) warned of potential tornadoes through early evening from Raleigh, North Carolina, north to parts of Virginia, Maryland and the Washington area. The threat comes a day after twisters killed at least three people and left a path of destruction in Gulf Coast states. The storm destroyed a mobile home in Wayne County in central North Carolina, while wind gusts of up to 53 miles (85.3 km) per hour were reported at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina. Schools in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida cancelled classes or shifted hours ahead of severe weather forecast in those states. Debris from a damaged water tower is shown in this handout photo provided by Assumption Parish Sheri …In Louisiana, rescue crews combed debris for people possibly trapped after at least seven tornadoes pummelled that state and Mississippi on Tuesday 23 Feb. Among the hardest hit was the Mississippi River hamlet of Convent, in St. James Parish, Louisiana, where state officials said two people died and dozens were injured at one trailer park. About 90 percent of the estimated 160 mobile homes were destroyed at the park, located about 60 miles (100 km) west of New Orleans. Trailers toppled over and were ripped apart, while mangled cars and shoes, pillows and mattresses were scattered across the park, according to photos from the scene. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said it was "a minor miracle" the casualty toll was not higher as most of the trailers were occupied when the storm hit. In Assumption Parish, which borders St. James Parish, more than 100 homes and businesses were damaged and several were destroyed. The National Weather Service confirmed one fatality near the Mississippi town of Purvis, where a mobile home was destroyed.

US Mid-West 25 Feb 2016
                   A major wind and snow storm downed power lines, closed highways and grounded hundreds of flights over a wide swath of the U.S. Midwest on Wednesday. Feb 24 Blizzard and winter storm warnings were in effect until Thursday  Feb 25 morning for parts of Indiana, Michigan and Illinois as the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted as much as 13 inches (33 cm) of snow and winds of up to 50 mph (80 kph).  A system of storms swept across the US East Coast Wednesday, killing several people, tearing down homes, and causing power outages. Dozens of tornadoes were recorded, as well as hail the size of golf balls. More than 2,800 flights have since been cancelled. Waverly, Va.  Wednesday night, a tiny town of roughly 2,000, was perhaps hit the hardest in the state, brought tornadoes to the East Coast, killing four in Virginia, and heavy snow that cancelled hundreds of flights in the Midwest. Virginia Gov. A 2-year-old child and two men ages 50 and 26 were killed there during the storm bodies were found 300 yards away from their mobile home. At least five structures were damaged in the town of approximately 2,000 and roads leading into town had to be closed because of downed trees and debris tossed by winds gusting to 60 mph. After tornadoes damaged homes and left thousands without power across the state. The tiny town of Waverly took the brunt of the storm.  In the Midwest, the storms were accompanied by heavy snow and wind. Northern Indiana was expected to see the worst snowfall, up to 18 inches. Parts of Michigan was also projected to receive more than a foot of snow.  
Dt. 25 Feb 2016: 
                        In Vidarbha, Marathwada and Telangana surroundings up in the sky the clouds the dominated.  Coastal districts are covered by the wet winds and several places in the states the rainy clouds favoured. But in Telangana and Rayalseema at many places the temperatures are hovering high. 27 Feb was cool, but 28 and 29 Feb turned to be quite  hot with simmering Sun through out the day.

Visakhapatnam 26 Feb 2016   
                      It rained here in the morning and weather is very damp with the clouds and temperature slightly lower. 

FAST RADIO BURST & MISSING MATTER: NEWS Dated 26 Feb 2016
          Only 16 detected so far, namely the Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) that last only few milliseconds. FRB identified now, from six billion light years away used to weigh the cosmic matter through which it travelled, which helped to confirm the existence of “missing matter”. Their origin still unknown. The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan’s Subaru Optical Telescope in Hawaii looked from these bursts emanated and found that they originate from an elliptical galaxy which is six billion light years away. 

26 February 2016 updated at 21:24
              Torrential rain have struck the northern parts of Peru leading to widespread flooding. Two states Telangana and Andhra experienced light rains, with Visakhapatnam totally cloudy  with no  rain, and with temperatures above by 2 to 3 degrees C than normal. Nizamabad and Kurnool registered 37 C. Visakhapatnam minimum 24 C and maximum 31 C were recorded.

Monday Feb 29, 2016 10:00 AM | Explosion from Sinabung on 25 Feb


                       Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia): Over the past days, activity at the volcano seems to have picked up. The frequency and size of explosions from the summit have increased and generated several ash plumes that rose up to approx 3 km height above the summit. In addition, collapses of parts of the lava lobe generated small to moderate pyroclastic flows that traveled up to 3 km down on the ESE side. One of them on Saturday reached again the (already mostly destroyed and abandoned) village of Simacem on the ESE flank at only 3 km distance from the crater.

VISAKHAPATNAM

           It rained in Visakhapatnam on 29 Feb 2016, from about 6:15 PM to 6:45 PM and all the roads have become wet that cleared only after about an hour at 7:15 PM. It was sweltering warm weather in the morning since last three days. Possibly Summer rains have set  in at Visakhapatnam.

29 February (Day 1): Weather in India 

             Thunder squall accompanied with hail very likely at isolated places over Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada & Vidarbha and likely at isolated places over south Madhya Pradesh, south Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

                I am indebted to Late Prof K R Rao D.Sc. (Madras) D. Sc. (London) whose enthusiasm to record whatever little finding of research by any one is a welcoming gesture for the understanding the Universe.

China, Russia, Bangladesh, Japan, Taiwan and Philippines had earthquakes. Recent was in India at Nellore, a mild earthquake. A major storm system brought a mix of bad weather on Tuesday Feb 2, 2016, to much of the central United States, with a band of tornadoes downing trees in Alabama and Mississippi and heavy snow blanketing the northern Midwest. Russian space-walkers set off to retrieve biological samples that have been outdoors seven years, and put out some new science trays. Sakurajima volcano in Japan erupts. In southern Kagoshima prefecture erupted at 6:56 pm (0956 GMT). The Guardian:3 hours ago today 19h 41m PM, Feb 5, 2016. Evening on Saturday Feb 5, 2016 the sky was red in colour reflecting the volcanic eruptions in Japan. The New Year 2016, also known as the Spring Festival, is marked by the Lunisolar Chinese calendar, as on 8 Feb. Celebrated the day with dedication and giving pitru THARPANALU, in memory of their ancient forefathers and fathers, as per the HINDU calendar, from 10.14 AM on Sunday, 7 Feb 2016 to 8.00 PM on Monday 8 Feb 2016 at several places in India. Snow fell heavily in the state of north-eastern, Manchester in US, delayed traffic and voters braved plunging temperatures and freezing winds on late Monday, 8 Feb 2016. Houses, Vehicles and trees came under a sheet of snow after a heavy snow fall in Shimla on Monday 8 Feb 2016. Mild tremors measuring 4.6 R in Central Nepal, the aftershocks were recorded at Sindhupalcowk 100 km East of Kathmandu at 10.22 PM yesterday. Report on 11 February 2016. A 5.8-magnitude earthquake hit the New Zealand city of Christchurch Sunday, 14 Feb 2016, seismologists said, sending goods flying off shelves. New Hampshire /2016/02/14 passengers evacuated from stranded mountain trams frigid temperatures. 02.14.16 | 3:25 PM. Life threatening cold wave sweeps across north-east US. Temperature in Boston dropped to -21.7 C overnight but feel as cold as -34.4 C with the wind chill.   I felt very shaky and decided to have rest, postponing slightly the act of offering milk, kept ready by 6.25 AM, to the Sun God and dumping it in the ground before the just Sun rise.

           In a paper published today in Nature communications the ASACUSA collaboration reports the unambiguous detection of 80 anti-hydrogen atoms 2.7 m downstream of their production, where the perturbing influence of the magnetic fields used initially to produce the anti-atoms is small. This result is a significant step towards precise hyperfine spectroscopy of anti-hydrogen atoms. In 2011, the ALPHA experiment announced trapping of anti-hydrogen atoms for 1000 seconds and reported observation of hyperfine transitions of trapped anti-atoms  2012. In 2013, the  ATRAP experiment announced the first direct measurement of the anti-proton's magnetic moment with a fractional precision of 4.4 parts in a million. At ALPHA, physicists study the anti-hydrogen particles by first combining an anti-proton and a positron (the antimatter equivalent of an electron) to make anti-hydrogen, which they trap in a magnetic field. They then kick the trapped particles with an electric field to see if they react. If an anti-hydrogen reacts and escapes from the trap then it means it has a charge, if it does not then it’s neutral. 

IISc’s invention Mr. Santanu Talukder: 1 Feb 2016
                Environment-friendly: Electro- lithography: Patent filed in December 2014: The process of lithography is straightforward. You take a transparent glass plate, coat it with a layer of a suitable polymer. On top of this, add a layer of chromium, then you dig a trench of the desired pattern on the chromium layer so that parts of the polymer layer are exposed. Using acetone, dissolve the exposed polymer and remove those parts of it. This caused a gap to be formed in the polymer-chromium sandwich. This whole assemblage functions like the negative of a developed photo film. Now, if the metal of choice is “sputtered” on to this sandwich, it will go and occupy the gap that’s been created and directly fall on the glass plate. In this way, the desired pattern using a metal of choice can be formed. This pattern will have a width equal to the width of the trench and thickness equal to the polymer layer. The crucial difference between existing processes and this one is in the manner of digging the trench. Here, the researchers use electrodes that are widely separated from each other. The very thin cathode, when it moves like a nib over the chromium layer, causes the metal to heat up, dissolve and flow out. This makes a trench whose width is nearly that of the electrode tip. Other techniques, the e-beam lithography which is very popular, or the optical lithography using ultraviolet light, involve machines that cost a few crores of rupees whereas this set up could be assembled at a cost price of some Rs. 20 lakhs.

FUSION DEVICE! Scientists to inject fuel in experimental fusion device:  4 hours ago on 3 Feb 2016 at 20h35m IST PM.  GREIFSWALD, Germany (AP)

            Scientists in north-east Germany were poised to flip the switch Wednesday on an experiment they hope will advance the quest for nuclear fusion, considered a clean and safe form of nuclear power. Researchers at the MaxPlanck Institute in Greifswald planned to inject a tiny amount of hydrogen and heat it until it becomes a super-hot gas known as plasma, mimicking conditions inside the sun. It's part of a world-wide effort to harness nuclear fusion, a process in which atoms join at extremely high temperatures and release large amounts of energy. Advocates acknowledge that the technology is probably many decades away, but argue that once achieved, it could replace fossil fuels and conventional nuclear fission reactors. Construction has already begun in southern France on ITER, a huge international research reactor that uses a strong electric current to trap plasma inside a doughnut-shaped device long enough for fusion to take place. The device, known as a tokamak, was conceived by Soviet physicists in the 1950s and is considered fairly easy to build, but extremely difficult to operate. The team in Greifswald, a port city on Germany's Baltic coast, is focused on a rival technology invented by the American physicist Lyman Spitzer in 1950. Called a stellarator, the device has the same doughnut shape as a tokamak but uses a complicated system of magnetic coils instead of a current to achieve the same result.
JAPAN VOLCANO
              Sakurajima volcano in Japan erupts. In southern Kagoshima prefecture erupted at 6:56 pm (0956 GMT). The Guardian:3 hours ago today 19h 41m PM, Feb 5, 2016. A volcano has erupted in southern Japan, sending an orange burst into the sky and lava. Lava rolled down mountain’s slope and smoke billows into sky after eruption in southern Japan. The country’s meteorological agency said Sakurajima erupted at about 7 PM local time (10 AM GMT). The public broadcaster NHK showed dark grey smoke billowing into the sky and lightening. The eruption shot out large rocks, with the agency warning debris and pyroclastic flows, super-hot and fast-moving mixture of gases and rock fragments, could reach as far as two kilometres (1.25 miles) away from the eruption vents.

COST OF SOLAR POWER              
          The US complaint in 2013 alleged that the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission subsidies were available only if developers used equipment produced in India, violating a key global trade rule. The programme is aimed at easing chronic energy shortages in India, Asia’s third-largest economy. The Obama administration argued that the rules are a barrier to solar products made in America and elsewhere but also effectively raised the cost of generating solar power in India and were extending the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.

COASTAL CLOUDS
            Cool breeze from the Ocean in Rayalseema, Coastal area and Telengana regions accompanied with  rainy clouds. On Friday 5 Feb 2016, several places in Visakhapatnam there were slight spills of light rain. In both the states, daily temperatures were about one to two degrees higher than normal. Kurnool registered about 36 C. On Saturday and Sunday the city experienced cloudy weather. Evening on Saturday Feb 5, 2016 the sky was red in colour reflecting the Volcanic eruptions in Japan.

Tamil Nadu Meteorite Mystery on Saturday 6 Feb 2016 at 4 PM.        
        Meteorite Mystery deepens at Vellore, with the man was killed in a massive explosion that numbed another student and two gardeners were injured. A bakery shop located 500 meters had broken glass windows and also of the nearby houses due to the fall of this object. The sound was heard about 5 km away from the campus. A lakh of rupees was paid for the driver, Kamaraju’s death and three people would receive, said Madam Jayalalitha CM, 25,000 rupees given to the injured   Kamaraju went to wash his face at a tap near a water tank, in the parking lot of the college around noon on Saturday. The college was located at Natrampalli, about 85 km away from Vellore town.
            The spot was about 18-20 km of air distance from Bethaveppampattu, where a similar object suspected to be a meteorite fell on January 26. It created a perfect circle in a farmland, and no casualty like in the recent incidence.
           An American, Ann Hodges, injured by a softball-size hunk of black rock that broke through her ceiling of her house in Sylacauge, Alabama, in November 1954. It has hit her in the thigh, leaving a pine-apple-shaped bruise.
           The last meteor shower was on January 3 and the next one expected between April 22 and 23. There is nothing in this February month according to them. In 2013, a meteorite exploded over central Russia, raining fireballs over a vast area and causing shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured 1200 people.
          The blast left a crater of 5 ft depth and 2 ft wide. Policemen recovered a black, pockmarked stone weighing 11 g from the blast site. Blast shattered several window panes and damaged the windscreens of buses parked nearby.  A dark blue stone was found at the scene. G. Baskar, the Principal was working in his cabin when he heard an explosion.
           The last reported death from a meteorite strike was in 1825. A similar incident happened in Kerala two years ago. The experts were able to identify it only after it stopped burning.

Pune February 12, 2016 Waves replaced by Ripples!
Scientists spot elusive space-time ripples 
                After decades of search for these ripples in space-time, which Albert Einstein predicted exactly 100 years ago, scientists working with the gigantic optical instruments in the U.S. called LIGO [Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory], have detected signals of gravitational ripples emanating from two merging black holes 1.3 billion light years away arriving at their instruments on the Earth. That is to say, this cataclysmic event of two black holes merging occurred 1.3 billion years ago, when multi-cellular organisms were just beginning to form on the Earth, the gravitational ripples from which are being received now on the Earth.

The residents of Chakalikonda, Bathivaripalem and other hamlets felt the impact of the tremors, but soon recovered from the mild shock. This is the sixth time that very low intensity tremors are being reported in this upland area located east of Udayagiri fort. Following a series of tremors in the region, scientists of the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) made a field study in the area a few weeks ago. They said that the local people need not worry about the tremors as they were progressively decreasing in their intensity.

         I felt very shaky and decided to have rest, postponing slightly the act of offering milk, kept ready by 6.25 AM, to the Sun God and dumping it in the ground before the just Sun rise. It was  14 Feb 2016, Ratha Sapthami  day of Sun God.    
Gravitational Waves?

                  Gravitational Waves Chirps have been recorded quite accidently at 11:50 AM central European time, on September 14, 2015, termed as a chance discovery, on the experimental run of LIGO apparatus. Begin collecting data on the September 18, 2015 officially. Gravitational waves can pass through the universe unobstructed, so they carry information which cannot be obtained otherwise. These waves pass freely the hot plasma of the early universe, so scientists can use them to gain insight into what occurred during that otherwise invisible time.

              The oscillations began at 35 cycles per second and rapidly increased to 250Hz it then became chaotic and rapidly died down. The whole thing was over within one-fourth of a second, journal Science notes. The magazine Science, notes that the gravitational waves stretched space, making the entire Earth expand and contract by 1/100,000 of a nano-meter about the width of an atomic nucleus. Black holes that merged were only 36 times and 29 times the mass of the Sun, but the fused black hole weighed only 62 solar masses, and not 65 solar masses. The three solar masses, which went missing were created the Gravitational waves.

                When black holes orbiting around each other, collided and merged into a single massive black hole. The ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by the orbiting black holes, travelled outward as gravitational waves. Gravitational waves produced when objects accelerate. According to Theory of General Relativity, the pair of black holes, orbiting around each other lost energy through the emission of gravitational waves. As the holes lost energy, they were gravitationally drawn closer to each other. As they came closer, the spinning becomes faster, and they emit even more gravitational waves and lost even more energy. At the end of 20 millisecond of data, they were whirling around each other so fast, that each orbit lasted just a few milliseconds, thus the black holes had whipped up before colliding and merging into one bigger black hole. The total power output of gravitational waves during the brief collision was 50 times greater than all of the stars in the universe put together, said Kip Thorne of Caltech said the New Scientist.

                      The collision was so violent, even that it radiated more energy in the form of gravitational waves than all the stars in the observable universe emitted a light in the same amount of time says Nature magazine. 

CONCLUSION
     Gravitational Ripples, observed at 11:50 AM,  Central European Time on September 14, 2015   released from the impact join of two black holes orbiting one another circling and speeding up in a split second they spiral collided . A huge cataclysmic burst of energy is released, more than all  the stars in the universe  are putting out that instant. A new black hole with a mass of 62 suns is formed. It is larger than each of the ones that merged.  The black holes that merged are of the masses, 36 and 29 Solar masses, resultant less massive, by three solar masses, suggesting that the equivalent of 3 solar masses were carried away in the form of gravitational Wave? The present author feels that the released energy waded away as ripples but not as waves!
