ABSTRACT
In Einstein’s gravity
paradigm, hypothetical Dark matter is always invoked. Such a high speed
requires 60 times the mass we see in the stars of the Milky Way and
Andromeda. However, the friction between their huge halos of Dark matter
would result in them merging, rather than flying 2.5 million light years apart,
as they must have done, said Indranil Banik, the PhD student. The
beach has receded by about 10 feet due to the No Moon day on the 16 March 2016
at Visakhapatnam. Before the onset of summer, Andhra, North Karnataka,
Mid-Maharashtra, Telangana, Rayalaseema, experiencing heavy rainfalls. The
decay of the Ωc0 and its excited states. These particle states are
named, according to the standard convention, Ωc(3000)0, Ωc(3050)0, Ωc(3066)0, Ωc(3090)0 and Ωc(3119)0. The numbers
indicate their masses in megaelectronvolts (MeV), as measured by LHCb. The
waters along Tasmania’s north-west coastline have taken on a bizarre, glowing
appearance in recent days. Photographs taken off Preservation Bay and Rocky
Cape showcase bioluminescent waters caused by a natural phenomenon known
as noctiluca scintillans (AKA
sea sparkle), which happens when tiny plankton turn blue in
self-defence. Peru's rainy season has delivered 10 times as much rainfall
than usual, abnormal El Nino in Peru unleashes deadly downpours; more flooding
seen. A sudden and abnormal warming of Pacific waters off Peru has
unleashed the deadliest downpours in decades, with landslides and raging rivers
sweeping away people, clogging highways and destroying crops in a potential
sign of a global El Nino pattern this year. On 19 March 2017, a cyclonic
circulation is over Haryana and adjoining areas. Another
cyclonic circulation is over Southeast Rajasthan. A third cyclonic
circulation is over Assam and adjoining Bangladesh. A
trough is extending from Arunachal Pradesh to South Tamil
Nadu across Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha and Coastal Andhra
Pradesh. Since mid-December 2016, Alaska volcano has erupted more than 37
times since then and sent up another ash cloud as recently as Monday 20 March
2017 The Alaska Volcano Observatory said the latest eruption lasted 12 minutes. A 6.0-MAGNITUDE earthquake hit off the Solomon
Islands in the early hours of Monday, 20 March, the
quake struck at a depth of 4.0 kilometres, some 170 kilometres north-northeast
of the capital city Honiara. Visakhapatnam hail storm on Monday March 20,
afternoon, in Pendurthi it rained for about 10 minutes with falling hailstones.
Morning it was totally hot weather. Hailstones fall was seen nearly after 2 to
3 years ago. Srikakulam experienced hail storm about four days ago and on
Monday March 20, again there was a hailstorm. Coastal districts had heavy
rains. Till Tuesday morning Marripadu and Arogyavaram had 3 cm rain, while in
Palasamudram it registered 2 cm rain. Hot sun blazing in Rayalaseema and
Telangana while Kurnool experienced 39.5C. 6
hours ago on 22-03-2017 at 02:59 AM: The comet visited by the Rosetta
spacecraft is constantly being re-shaped, sometimes in dramatic fashion. It
witnessed the collapse of entire cliffs at two locations on Comet 67P, events
that were probably driven by exposure to sunlight. The Sun is not a giant ball
of eternally burning fire, but rather a concentration of gas whose conversion
produces gamma rays, which in turn produce light.

If Einstein’s Gravity were correct, our Galaxy would never come close enough to Andromeda to scatter anything that fast. If true, the discovery would force a new understanding of gravity and about our cosmos, as such a galactic flyby only makes sense if gravity weakens more slowly as galaxies drift apart than mainstream thinking suggests. Indranil Banik, the PhD student who led the study, said: “The ring-like distribution is very peculiar. These small galaxies are like a string of raindrops flung out from a spinning umbrella. I found there is barely a 1 in 640 chance for randomly distributed galaxies to line up in the observed way. I traced their origin to a dynamical event when the Universe was only half its present age. ”This tsunami-like wake in the sky was likely stirred up by a near-miss of the speeding Andromeda galaxy with our own Galaxy, the Milky Way. The two massive galaxies always orbited each other in a plane and would have scattered dwarf galaxies in their paths, perhaps explaining why the speeding dwarfs are in a plane also containing the Milky Way and Andromeda. Mr Banik added: “In Einstein’s gravity paradigm, hypothetical dark matter is always invoked. Such a high speed requires 60 times the mass we see in the stars of the Milky Way and Andromeda. However, the friction between their huge halos of dark matter would result in them merging rather than flying 2.5 million light years apart, as they must have done.”

RAINS IN ANDHRA
Before
the onset of summer, Andhra, North Karnataka, Mid-Maharashtra, Telangana, Rayalaseema,
experiencing heavy rainfalls. In Kurnool Zillah Gonegandla, had 11 cm heavy rain
6 cm in Nandavaram and 5 cm in Atmakur. Western disturbances is the cause of
these rains. Velagapudi near sachivalaya
also it rained on Thursday 16 March 2017. As per records month of February 2017
Heatwaves occurred and this is a second time asper NASA records. A trough runs
from Sub-Himalayan Bengal to South Odisha and to 0.9 km above sea level. The
trough in lower level easterlies from Maldives area to Coastal Karnataka now seen
as wind discontinuity from Lakshadweep area to west Vidarbha across interior
Karnataka and Marathwada at 1.5 km above mean sea level. This weather would
continue next 24 hours.
17 MARCH 2017: Scientists find
earliest mushroom fossils preserved in Burmese amber, in China, New Zealand

found in a 99-million-year-old piece of damaged Burmese amber, another in a
90-million-year-old piece of New Jersey amber and the three remaining species
in 20-million-year-old Dominican amber. On Mar 17
Four species of mushroom fossils believed to be 99 million years old. Among
the previous five species, one was found in a 99-million-year-old piece of
damaged Burmese amber, another in a 90-million-year-old piece of New Jersey
amber and the three remaining species in 20-million-year-old Dominican amber.
17 March 2017 Australian coastline glows
in the dark
The waters along Tasmania’s north-west coastline have taken on a bizarre, glowing appearance in recent days. Photographs taken off Preservation Bay and Rocky Cape showcase bioluminescent waters caused by a natural phenomenon known as noctiluca scintillans (AKA sea sparkle), which happens when tiny plankton turn blue in self-defence. The phenomenon, which is best seen in calm, warm seas, is foreboding. The displays are a sign of climate change.

Abnormal El Nino in Peru unleashes deadly downpours; more flooding seen. A sudden and abnormal warming of Pacific waters off Peru has unleashed the deadliest downpours in decades, with landslides and raging rivers sweeping away people, clogging highways and destroying crops in a potential sign of a global El Nino pattern this year. At least 62 people have
died and more than 70,000 have become homeless as Peru's rainy season has
delivered 10 times as much rainfall than usual, authorities said Friday. About
half of Peru has been declared in emergency to expedite resources to the
hardest hit areas, mostly in the north where rainfall has broken records in
several districts.
17 March 2017: North Andhra and Telangana had rains on 17 March 2017. Till Friday morning it rained 4 cm in Kamareddi, Ramayampeta, and Ramagundam Aswaraopeta, Pinapaka, Kothagudem it rained 3 cm. Rayalaseema had an increased hot weather and Tirupati registered 38.3C.

In a paper released today, the LHCb collaboration announced the discovery of a new system of five particles all in a single analysis. The exceptionality of this discovery is that observing five new states all at once is a rather unique event.
Fig.A Ωc(3000)0, Ωc(3050)0, Ωc(3066)0, Ωc(3090)0 and Ωc(3119)0.
The numbers indicate their masses in megaelectronvolts (MeV).
The image
above shows the data (black dots) of the reconstructed mass distribution
resulting from the combination of the Ξc+ and K- particles.
The five particle states are the five narrow peaks standing out from the
distribution of data.
The particles were found to be excited states, a particle state that has a higher energy than the absolute minimum configuration (or ground state), of a particle called "Omega-c-zero", Ωc0. This Ωc0 is a baryon, a particle with three quarks, containing two “strange” and one “charm” quark. Ωc0 decays via the strong force into another baryon, called "Xi-c-plus", Ξc+(containing a “charm”, a “strange” and an “up” quark) and a kaon K-. Then the Ξc+ particle decays in turn into a proton p, a kaon K- and a pion π+. From the analysis of the trajectories and the energy left in the detector by all the particles in this final configuration, the LHCb collaboration could trace back the initial event, the decay of the Ωc0 , and its excited states. These particle states are named, according to the standard convention, Ωc(3000)0, Ωc(3050)0, Ωc(3066)0, Ωc(3090)0 and Ωc(3119)0. The numbers indicate their masses in megaelectronvolts (MeV), as measured by LHCb. This discovery was made possible thanks to the specialised capabilities of the LHCb detector in the precise recognition of different types of particles and also thanks to the large dataset accumulated during the first and second runs of the Large Hadron Collider. These two ingredients allowed the five excited states to be identified with an overwhelming level of statistical significance, meaning that the discovery cannot be just a statistical fluke of data. The next step will be the determination of the quantum numbers of these new particles, characteristic numbers used to identify the properties of a specific particle, and the determination of their theoretical significance. This discovery will contribute to understanding how the three constituent quarks are bound inside a baryon and also to probing the correlation between quarks, which plays a key role in describing multi-quark states, such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks.
Saturday,
March 18, 2017 3:44PM EDT The rare sight of a meteor crashing through the
clear sky over the B.C. coast Thursday night was captured on a number of
dashcam videos. The streaking, fiery descent to Earth at about 9:40 p.m. local
time was caught by cameras in Vancouver, Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley, and
even Seattle. It was a, rare treat, to have clear skies in Vancouver
to witness the bright light. The meteor as large and bright green with a
huge white tail. The meteor was likely travelling between 72,000
and 90,000 kilometres an hour. The meteor that
hurtled over the west coast Thursday was a much more common scale of probably
10 centimetres to a metre in diameter, meteor is likely made up of
nickel-iron.
18 March 2017: From Bihar over Odisha and banking on coastal lands up to Tamil Nadu the low-depression is continuing. Till Saturday morning it rained in Ranastalam 5 cm, in Parvathipuram and Garugubilli two cm. Rayalaseema, South coast Andhra and Telangana several places the hot weather prevailed.

20, 20176:44AM Explosive events’ rock Pacific Ocean: AN ACTIVE island volcano
situated in the Pacific Ocean under one of the world’s busiest flight paths has
barely stopped erupting since Christmas and is nearing its 40th explosion in
months. Bogoslof
volcano, nestled in the Aleutian Islands about 98 km northwest of Dutch Harbor,
Alaska, US, has been in the midst of an “active eruption sequence” since
mid-December 2016. It has erupted more than 37 times since then and sent up
another ash cloud as recently as Monday. The Alaska Volcano Observatory said
the latest eruption lasted 12 minutes.
MARCH 22, 2017: 12:54PM: Bali earthquake: Magnitude 6.4 event strikes resort Island. Witnesses report feeling a strong shake lasting some 20 seconds. Many residents reportedly leapt from their beds and ran into the streets for safety. The shock came shortly after 10am AEST, or 7am local Bali time. It is believed to have been centred off the coast of the Indonesian archipelago, with early data placing it about 26km south of Denpasar. Part of a temple gate at Kehan temple in Bangli collapsed. The violent quake was reportedly felt by up to three million inhabitants on and around the island.
23 March 2017: A historic mine in Iceland may have to be closed to the public

warned. The
Helgustadanama mine is famous for Icelandic spar, a type of transparent calcite
which was historically used in scientific equipment.
March 23, 2017: The Fungi Mutarium, a project that investigates plastic as a nutrient source to grow mushrooms. Research has shown that some varieties of fungi have the ability to break down synthetic polymers into digestible form, and to remove toxic substances from water and soil without the need for chemicals. The designers of Fungi Mutarium, Katharina Unger and Julia Kaisinger, collaborated with researchers at Utrecht University to create a system that can speed up the decomposition of plastic using UV light and then combine the resulting waste matter with fungi and agar.
March 26, 2017: Heatwave conditions were witnessed over parts of South Madhya Pradesh, Madhya Maharashtra, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana and Rayalaseema. A cyclonic circulation is marked over Assam and adjoining areas. A trough is extending from this system up to North Odisha.

The comet visited by the Rosetta spacecraft is
constantly being re-shaped, sometimes in dramatic fashion. It witnessed the
collapse of entire cliffs at two locations on Comet 67P, events that were
probably driven by exposure to sunlight. However, some of the changes were
unrelated to this. In the "neck" region, which connects the two large
lobes of the duck-shaped comet, a huge fracture, estimated to be more than 500m
in length, extended by at least another 30m. This change is thought to be
connected to an increase in the comet's spinning rate. In 67P's Khonsu region, a massive boulder was seen to move a distance
of 140m. This could have been caused by erosion of the sloped surface the
boulder was sitting on, causing it to roll. But the hefty rock could also have
been moved by an outburst of dust and gas from within the comet, says the team.
Crack propagation was thought
to be linked to the comet's increasing spin rate. Aug 2014 to June 2016

located 750 light years away in the constellation of Pisces and is made of gas
that is around 250 times purer than the Sun and consists of more than 99.99 per
cent hydrogen and helium. The dwarf is estimated to have formed about 10
billion years ago, measurements also suggest it has a mass equivalent to 90
times that of Jupiter, making it the most massive brown dwarf found to date.

The upgraded the tropical cyclone at 7:59pm on Monday evening, saying the “very destructive core” is to cross the coast between Cape Upstart and Cape Hillsborough (north of Mackay) on Tuesday 28 March, morning with wind gusts potentially to 275 km/h near the centre of the system. Low-lying area that is likely to be affected by a 0.8-2.5 m storm surge, caused by a dangerous combination of a category 4 cyclone and high tide. The cyclone was located approximately 200 km east northeast of Bowen, Hamilton Island, the Whitsundays and Ayr and 205 km north northeast of Mackay around 6pm AEST today, according to the weather bureau, and was moving at about six kilometres an hour with winds of about 155 kph near the centre, and gusts to 220 km/h.Tropical Cyclone Debbie slammed into northeastern Australia midday Tuesday with wind gusts as high as 161 mph, The eye is expected to cross directly over the seaside town of Bowen, 28 March 2017 at 00:45: A
powerful cyclone slammed into the northeastern coast of Australia in the
state of Queensland early Tuesday local time with winds estimated at
up to 140 mph. Cyclone Debbie has rapidly intensified
& peaking prior to landfall. Satellite estimates (6.5 125-knots) Cat 4. The storm hit
Queensland's most populous region on Thursday after pummelling the north-east
coast for two days. The state's capital, Brisbane, was hit with 20cm (8ins) of
rain in two hours. More than 2,000 schools have been forced to close as tens of

Mar, 31
2017 11:02:11 IST: This situation might continue till 3 April. Temperatures
might subside after that. Cold winds are expected to flow from the polar
region. So the temperature might decrease. On an average, the temperature might
dip by 3°C to 4°C. Chennai’s maximum temperature has not yet
crossed even the 35-degree Celsius. Meteorologists say the easterlies (wind
blowing from east) bringing moisture and the cloud cover over Tamil Nadu are
saving it from the harsh heat wave. The clouds and easterlies have saved Tamil
Nadu and some of the other southern parts from heat wave. The cause of heat waves sweeping central and northwest
parts was strong high pressure system. The INSAT-3D satellite imagery, to
forecast Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) clearing, shows that the system is
concentrated over central and north-western parts and spared southern region,
especially Tamil Nadu.

Nuclear Physics, Ph.D (Physics): AU. {Retd. Prof. of Physics, Shivaji University, Kolhapur-416004, MS}: 17-11-10, Narasimha Ashram, Official Colony, Maharanipeta.

Thoughts of Rama & Sita and Krishna elaborated to ascertain the ingenious ideas of the Indians. The space expanse a formidable thought by the present author is elaborated. A feasting meal produced mysteriously from a simple grain by the poet Nanayya, is an untenable thought, but the thought leaves one intriguing mind to look for space expanse. Electromagnetic waves, with towers of height 200 metres, would be gauzed to spot the exact location of the lightning with latitude, Longitude and directions of travel and time of strike. A display of so many unique and well perfected dances on a single platform pulls a number of dance lovers from all over the world to Kerala on Onam a singular form of depicting the versatility of Hindu thought over the Universe. Optical communication would revolutionize with data encoded in a beam of light. Modern techniques amplify the human effort and conquering the phase time and space expanse.
