ABSTRACT
An unusual rain burst slashed Andhra Pradesh coastal districts of Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vijayanagaram on three days from Sunday, Monday and Tuesday 15th September with recorded maximum of 27cm rainfall just in 24 hours at Araku. This in my opinion is the beginning of the onslaught of near Super moon affect in Visakhapatnam. Colorado and Hildale (Uta) in US had heavy rainfall. Flash floods claimed four lives in Zion National Park. Excessive rains lashed in Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam and Viziyangaram districts, last three days (Today is 16th September 2015). Srikakulum district since Monday 14th night non-stop rain lashed the areas. It must have started on the16th itself but why a gap of no rain for five days, in Visakhapatnam, between 16th to 23rd is a puzzling fact. It is not understood why the extreme heat conditions prevailed on those days 19th to 23rd at Visakhapatnam. Especially on the 25th around 4P.M., just for an half hour, with a few seconds gap of continuous lightning and thunder that mostly entered the Earth and I felt the happening very near to the Earth ground level unlike the usual lightning and thunder that occurs much above the ground in the atmosphere. Curiously the occurrence of lightning and thunder moved from on 24th at 5.30 PM to 6.30 PM (it was a glaring hot Sun from 9AM to 4.30 PM) , on 25th (very hot weather with big Sun shine from morning) at 4.00 PM extremely intense and powerful shower for about an half hour to 45 minutes, 26th (intense Sun shine from morning) at 2.00 PM to 4 PM and on 27th(cloudy but hot day) morning time from 2.00 AM to 5.30 A.M and on the 28th (cloudy and very cool) the super moon early morning day from 2.00 A.M to 5.30 A.M.The shift of the Sun's heat with the normal temperature increased by 2 to 4 degrees higher is in my opinion due to the reflected Moon Sun shine (due to the Sun's glare reflected by the nearness of the Moon to the Earth) over above the normal Sun Shine, during the day time. This is a very significant observation and may not recur till the next Moon's nearness to the Earth. Sun's affect in Andhra State must have started on the 14th itself with prior two days at Srikakulam. Tidal flooding to occur from September 25 to 30 in connection with Perigean Spring Tide (also called Kollam and Super Moon or king Tide) of September 28, when moon is closest to the earth during its orbit. Low lying areas including Kochi, Alappuzha, Thiruvanamthapuram particularly vulnerable. It would peak for three days from September 28. On the three days from 28th to 30th there was no rain at Visakhapatnam. INDIA ASTROSAT: 28th Sept 2015 at 10hrs 21:09m AM and placed at a height of 650km and at 6D from Earth's central line. It expects to study high energy processes in Binary star systems containing neutron stars and black holes, to estimate magnetic fields of neutron stars, to study star birth regions and high energy processes in star systems lying beyond the Milky Way galaxy.

HILDALE, Utah (AP)
Rescuers trudged through muddy streambeds Tuesday in a small polygamous town on the Utah-Arizona border and found the bodies of several children who died when their two vehicles were swept away in a torrent of floodwaters that killed at least 12 people. The same flash floods claimed at least four lives in nearby Zion National Park. The van and SUV were filled with three women and 13 children when a wall of brown water overtook them Monday evening, carrying the vehicles several hundred yards downstream and sending them plunging down a flooded-out embankment with terrifying force. The SUV was smashed beyond recognition. Three people survived, all of them children, in the secluded community that is the home base of Warren Jeffs' polygamous.
On the evening of 19-09-2015 it was raining in Visakhapatnam since 4.00PM and the weather has become very cool. The days of Vinayak festival in the town is in full swing with very nearby Ganesh stalls installed and people busy with collections and puja benefits.
RAINS IN ANDHRA
Excessive rains lashed in Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam and Viziyangaram districts, last three days (Today is 16th September 2015). Srikakulum district since Monday night non-stop rain lashed the areas. Icchapuram, Sompeta, Palasa,Tekkali, Narasannapeta, Echerla, Ranastalam, Amadalavalasa, Veeraghatam, Palakonda, Rajam, Pathapatnam, and in Moliaputti areas non-stop rains lashed the regions. RTC complex submerged in rain water. The rice fields that flowered (ubbaalu) sumberged in water. Gotta barage, Madduvalasa and Narayanapur anicuts have been releasing water into the Ocean. Skota all the rice fields in hundreds of acres land submerged in water and all the low lying areas filled with rain water. Vijayanagaram entire district effected by the heavy rain water. In Gantyada Mandal a lake developed a crack. Guntur in 30 Mandals about 3.9 mm rainfall was recorded. Vinukonda recorded 22 mm rainfall. In Kadapa district 14 Mandals had the rain showers. Total in the zillah it rained 65mm. In Kadapa it rained 19mm, Kalasapadu had rained 68mm, Muddanur it rained about a mm. S’kota the bridge Santagyrammapeta over flowed with rain water and in Rajam many rice fields submerged in rain water.
ANDHRA PRADESH
The heavy rains were recorded across parts of the state in coastal AP and Rayalseema on Wednesday 16 Sept., also. Many bridges were struck in various villages including Logill, Kitalangi, Sampangipadu and Tottangi. Trains on Visakh-Kirandul were cancelled due to land slips and boulders fall on ailway tracks and heavy water logging on the tracks in Kothavalasa-Kirandul line. Agency area normal life was brought to stand still on Wednesday and Thursday. Hill streams were in full swing at Paderu, Araku, Pedabayalu and Munchi-ingpur Mandals at various low lying bridges, were drowned by overflow.
HOT DAYS AT VISAKHAPATNAM
The last three days from 16th to 19th Morning it was in Visakhapatnam very hot reminding of the summer heat. Obviously the reflected Sun light from the Moon has added to the regular temperature in the Visakhapatnam and Kerala coast especially. The evaporated water of the Ocean is the result of the onset of evening and morning rains in the Southern India especially Andhra State (Visakhapatnam) and Kerala. This in my opinion is the beginning of the onslaught of near Super moon affect in Visakhapatnam. But from 24th September to almost 30th September the rain showers are due to the evaporation of water vapour from the Ocean the Bay of Bengal near to Visakhapatnam and the Kerala coast. It must have started on the16th itself but why a gap of no rain for five days between 16th to 23rd is a puzzling fact.
Chile Earthquake
Chile quake triggers mass evacuation and tsunami alert 17 September 2015 One million people had to leave their homes in Chile after a powerful quake hit the country's central region. At least 10 people died when the 8.3-magnitude quake hit at at 19:54 local time (22:54 GMT). Residents of Illapel, near the quake's epicentre, fled into the streets in terror as their homes began to sway. In the coastal town of Coquimbo, waves of 4.7m (15ft) hit the shore. A tsunami alert was issued for the entire Chilean coast but has since been lifted. Tsunami waves also hit the coast further north and south of the quake's Epicenter, with waves half a metre higher than usual as far north as La Punta.
RAINS IN VISAKHAPATNAM
Weather changed in the afternoon of 19th September 2015 and it started raining that might continue few days more as prediction surmises.
On the evening of 19-09-2015 it was raining in Visakhapatnam since 4.00PM and the weather has become very cool. It rained the whole night. The days of Vinayak festival in the town is in full swing with very nearby Ganesh stalls installed and people busy with collections and puja benefits.
SECOND OF ARTICLES ON THOTLAKONDA
A village
Kotturu near Yelamanchili has an uphill cave that has several mortars and slick
marks and the floor covered with evidence of heavy grinding and pounding. The
number of sticks and mortars make one wonder that they were earmarked for
different medicines, one for fever other for colic, and the third for
dehydration etc. Similar slicks and mortars found on the Thotlakonda hill in
association with water bodies, used probably for juices and poultices made on
the hills. The monks became acquainted with art of treating and mastered
conducting surgeries. Jivaka of Rajagriha, who mastered the art of Science of
Medicine from University of Taxasila. He studied seven years, and roamed a
yogana (8-13km) and foundall the plants in that region are virtually medicinal
plants. At this art of perfection the teacher from Taxila University,
pronounced him as a Medicinal Man. He went back to Rajagriha and in Ayodhya
performed a surgery on the brain of a patient suffering from migraine head ache
just to remove two tape worms lodged in his brain. Jivaka travelled far off
places and landed in Visakhapatnam. Writer

by Goonies, vandalism and secret attacks of robbery on scholars and intentional
travellers to this and surrounding hills is rampant to-date and thriving
without the Government and legal police protection. Comment by the author the ancient Science of Ayurveda
need to be revived as it best suited for this country of varied weather and
life styles.

RAINFALL IN INDIAN STATES A BLESSING
During the few days of last week of September 2015.
MAHARASHTRA STATE:
Nashik
district, which produces roughly 15 per cent of the country’s onions, had
recorded a 62 per cent rainfall deficit during the first three months of the
south-west monsoon season, while also pushing back sowings by a month to 45
days. But over the past fortnight, the district has received almost 20 per cent
more rains than what it normally receives during the whole of September. The average rainfall during a good monsoon
here is around 17 inches till this time, whereas it has already touched 22
inches. However, until a fortnight ago, we had got only 4 inches, which means
all this additional rain has been dumped in the last two seeks. This kind of
rain is good to fill up our reservoirs, but damaging to the early-kharif crop,”
noted Balasaheb Sonawane, a grower from Lasalgaon. Farmers, nevertheless, point
out that the rains will have a positive impact on the late-kharif crop, which
is called “Rangda”. Planted in August-September and harvested towards
January-February, it is better in quality and accounting for another 20 per
cent of Maharashtra’s annual onion output. The late-kharif has, in fact,
benefitted from the rains and its arrivals in the market by mid-January will
help cool the current high onion prices. Data
with the state government also indicates that barring Solapur and Kolhapur in
Western Maharashtra, rains in September were above the normal average across the state.
New Delhi, September 24:
With sowing for the Kharif season drawing to a close, acreage this year
is a little more than 1 per cent higher than at the corresponding period last
year. Area under crops such as rice, soyabean, cotton and a range of pulses
have touched 1,026.23 lakh hectares (lh) as of Thursday, as per the latest
estimates released by the Agriculture Ministry. A resurgent monsoon through
September has helped reduce the rainfall deficit and fear of food prices
shooting up. It has helped reservoir levels recover – although the situation in
the South remains a matter of concern – and also improved sentiments about the
Rabi season.
PUNJAB AND HARYANA
CHANDIGARH:
While the rain that came as a welcome relief for residents. It was slightly lower than the last highest
recorded 24-hour high for September, which was 106mm in 2009. The total rainfall recorded so
far in the month of September
In Haryana, among other places, Panchkula received 90 mm rains, Ambala 106.7 mm, Karnal 17 mm, Naraingarh 108 mm, Jind
30 mm, Kurukshetra 17 mm, Morni 47 mm and Jagadhri 74 mm received heavy showers.

ODISHA
STATE
BHUBANESWAR:
Low pressure areas over the Bay of Bengal - primary source of monsoon rains in
Odisha - have left the State high and dry this season. While not enough
sea-based weather systems formed this year, those which took shape have been
erratic, to say the least. The State has received 1,022 mm rain so far against
the normal record of 1,109, registering an 8 per cent shortfall. Last year by
this time, Odisha had received 1,246 mm showers, showing a 12% excess rainfall.
Between
June 1 and September 23, as many eight low pressures formed over the Bay of
Bengal or originated from near the Indian Ocean. Just two of them intensified
into depression. That weather experts say, has proved costly for the State.

COMMUNITY IMPACT AWARD OF AMERICA
Lalita Prasida Sripada Srisai, a class IX student from Damanjodi in Koraput district in Odisha won the ‘Community Impact Award’ at the prestigious Google Science Fair in California on Tuesday. This student of DPS Damanjodi developed a low-cost bio-absorbent based water purifier which uses waste corn cobs as key ingredient. This student of DPS Damanjodi developed a low-cost bio-absorbent based water purifier which uses waste corn cobs as key ingredient. She has won the award in 13-15 years age group. The winners of the fifth annual Google Science Fair were announced live from Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California. As part of this award, Lalita received 10,000 US dollars as prize money. Lalita will be further supported for one year by the organisation to build on her project.
PROCESS
Corn-cuts dried for a month in hot Sun. Removing away the
middle part of the corn-cuts and making a central hole, 50mm dirty water passed
through the hole then several impurities got rid-off. This water filled in five
bottles, added with different chemical fluids, and using the corn-cut powders
purifies the water. In the first bottle long Corn-cut pieces, in the second bottle smaller pieces of
corn-cut placed. Remaining bottles contain Corn-cut powder, Corn-cut Charcoal and
the last Corn-cut added fine super-fine sand. This way in five layers the dirty
water would be purified. Extension of the discovery for purifying water in
Lakes, Water tanks and in Rivers.
RAIN IN TELANGNA AND ANDHRA
Both the states AP and
Telangana recorded less rainfall and hence the temperatures shot up, by 2 to 4
degrees above the normal. Nellore recorded 37C, in Ugnanur 5cm, Sompeta 3m rain
fall recorded. The five days were extremely hot since 19 prior to the
24 September 2015.
SUPER MOON ON THE 28th MORNING AT VIZAG
The super moon spectacle would be observed morning around 5h30m AM on 28th Morning in Visakhapatnam, would reoccur only after 18 years.
The moon will reach complete totality (it will be completely submerged in the darkest part of Earth's shadow) at about 10:47 p.m. EDT (0247 GMT). The eclipse will end at about 1:22 a.m. EDT (0522 GMT
The Night Time Rains in Vizag
The two days 28 and 27 September the rains occurred during the early mornings from about 1.A.M to 5A.M., before the Super Moon occurrence on the 28 morning around 5h.30m A.M.
The rains have occurred from 24 of this month with a ferocious lightning and thunder. Especially on the 25 around 4P.M., just for an half hour, with a few seconds gap of continuous lightning and thunder that mostly entered the Earth and I felt the happening very near to the Earth ground level unlike the usual lightning and thunder that occurs much above the ground in the atmosphere. Curiously the occurrence of lightning and thunder moved from on 24 at 5.30 PM to 6.30 PM (it was a glaring hot Sun from 9AM to 4.30 PM) , on 25 (very hot weather with big Sun shine from morning) at 4.00 PM extremely intense and powerful shower for about an half hour to 45 minutes, 26 (intense Sun shine from morning) at 2.00 PM to 4 PM and on 27(cloudy but hot day) morning time from 2.00 AM to 5.30 A.M and on the 28(cloudy and very cool) the super moon early morning day from 2.00 A.M to 5.30 A.M.
The shift of the Sun's heat with the normal temperature increased by 2 to 4 degrees higher is in my opinion due to the reflected Moon Sun shine (due to the Sun's glare reflected by the nearness of the Moon to the Earth) over above the normal Sun Shine, during the day time. This is a very significant observation and may not recur till the next Moon's nearness to the Earth.
Tidal
waves would continue to hit Kerala coast till September 30. Tidal
flooding to occur from September 25 to 30 in
connection with Perigean Spring Tide (also called Kollam and Super Moon or king
Tide) of September 28, when moon is closest to the earth during
its orbit. Low lying areas including Kochi, Alappuzha, Thiruvanamthapuram
particularly vulnerable. It would peak for three days from September 28.
Araku on 15th September 2015, received 27cm astonishing rain, that was beginning of the near Moon's affect on the Earth's environment, with the Ocean waves plunging forward at the beach coasts of Andhra and more vehemently in Kerala. The gradual and increased activity of the Ocean waves is a direct indication of the Super Moon affect over the several days almost a month ahead.

Hyderabad Pallecheruvu bund broke down due to rain on 29th September and school children were crossing it on road side bunds. Malkpeta and Nampally were affected by two hours heavy rain in the morning hours troubling students who waded through the gushing rain water on roads. Flood Waters Affect Over 13 Lakh people in Assam on 30 September 2015.
WATER ON MARS
Lujendra Ojha a Ph.D student in GIT in Atlanta, by spectral imaging, from Nepal asserted, that water exists on Mars, from a tool aboard the MRO found water mark streaks flowing downhill.
Magnesium perchlorate, chlorate, and chloride in water allow it to stay in water form for a longer time. In this time the water runs down the slopes making streaks. Drop in water's freezing point due to presence of salts at 80C and at -23C temperature above which streaks are found. Width of streaks under 16ft. Lengths of lines few 100m. The water now found is in liquid state. The dark streaks running down slopes on the surface were observed about four years ago.

INDIA ASTROSAT:
28th Sept 2015 at 10hrs 21:09m AM and placed at a height of 650km and at 6D from Earth's central line. ASTROSAT in orbit got relieved from other satellites at 22h53m AM .
It lifted off from Sriharikota by six boosters emitting fire by the rocket PSLV C-30 in AP on Monday. at 23h45m AM with Canada NLS-14 nano-satellite, around 23h01m AM Indonesia's LAPAN-A2 microsatellite and at 25h02m AM 1st, 24h11m AM 2nd, 25h02m AM 3rd, and at 25h53m AM the fourth identical LEMUR nano-satellites from U.S, which were put in orbit. It weighs1513kg. The two solar panels opened. It would take two months before the ASTROSAT may collect and send data.
CONCLUSION
INDIA became the fifth country after USA, Japan, space agencies of European Union and Russia to place a ASTROSAT for studies by India Astrophysicist and Astronomers, a feat much wondered by the world over Space Scientists.

1.
The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT, capable of observing the sky in
the Visible, Near Ultraviolet and Far Ultraviolet regions of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
2.
Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC, is designed for study the
variations in the emission of X-rays from sources like X-ray binaries, Active
Galactic Nuclei and other cosmic sources.
3.
Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) is designed for studying how the X-ray spectrum
of 0.3-8 keV range coming from distant celestial bodies varies with time.
4.
Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI), functioning in the X-ray region,
extends the capability of the satellite to sense X-rays of high energy in
10-100 keV range.
5.
Scanning Sky Monitor(SSM),is intended to scan the sky for long term
monitoring of bright X-ray sources in binary stars, and for the detection and
location of sources that become bright in X-rays for a short duration of time.
It expects to study high energy processes in Binary star systems containing neutron stars and black holes, to estimate magnetic fields of neutron stars, to study star birth regions and high energy processes in star systems lying beyond the Milky Way galaxy.
Besides NASA, space agencies of the European Union, Japan and Russia have launched similar facilities into the space.
