What is tamuz 29?

The best visual of the total eclipse was seen on the Island of Novaya Zemlya. This island is known for the largest detonation of a nuclear bomb at a Russian nuclear testing site. If you watch the little black dot on the thread above, you can see it pass directly through this island separating the Berents sea from the Kara sea.

My husband found this this morning and was quite intrigued by it all.

Nuclear testing

In July 1954, Novaya Zemlya was designated the Novaya Zemlya Test Site, construction of which began in October[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) and existed during much of the Cold War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War). "Zone A", Chyornaya Guba (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chyornaya_Guba&action=edit&redlink=1) (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Erioll_world.svg/18px-Erioll_world.svg.png70.7° N 54.6° E (http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Novaya_Zemlya&params=70.7_N_54.6_E_)), was used in 1955–1962 and 1972–1975.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) "Zone B", Matochkin Shar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matochkin_Shar) (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Erioll_world.svg/18px-Erioll_world.svg.png73.4° N 54.9° E (http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Novaya_Zemlya&params=73.4_N_54.9_E_)), was used for underground tests in 1964–1990.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) "Zone C", Sukhoy Nos (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sukhoy_Nos&action=edit&redlink=1) (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Erioll_world.svg/18px-Erioll_world.svg.png73.7° N 54.0° E (http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Novaya_Zemlya&params=73.7_N_54.0_E_)), was used in 1958–1961 and was the 1961 explosion site of Tsar Bomba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba), a record 50-megaton blast conducted in the atmosphere.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) Other tests occurred elsewhere throughout the islands, with an official testing range covering over half of the landmass.
1963 saw the implementation of the Limited Test Ban Treaty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_Test_Ban_Treaty) outlawing most atmospheric nuclear tests (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atmospheric_nuclear_tests&action=edit&redlink=1).[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-lamont_doherty-13) The largest underground test at Novaya Zemlya took place on September 12 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_12), 1973 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973), involving four nuclear devices of 4.2 megatons total yield. Although far smaller in blast power (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blast_power&action=edit&redlink=1) than the Tsar Bomba and other atmospheric tests, the confinement of the blasts underground led to pressures rivaling natural earthquakes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquakes). In the case of the September 12 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_12), 1973 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973), test, a seismic magnitude (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seismic_magnitude&action=edit&redlink=1) of 6.97 on the Richter Scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_Scale) was reached, setting off an 80 million ton avalanche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche) that blocked two glacial streams and created a lake 2 km (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre) in length.[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-lamont_doherty-13)
Over its entire history as a nuclear test site, Novaya Zemlya hosted 224 nuclear detonations with a total explosive energy equivalent to 265 megatons of TNT.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) For comparison, all explosives used in World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II), including the detonations of two U.S. nuclear bombs, amounted to only two megatons.[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-lamont_doherty-13)
In 1988–1989, glasnost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasnost) helped make the Novaya Zemlya testing activities public knowledge,[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-khalturin_2005-12) and in 1990 Greenpeace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenpeace) activists staged a protest at the site.[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-greenpeace_hist-14) The last nuclear test explosion was in 1990 (also the last for the entire Soviet Union and Russia). The Ministry for Atomic Energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_for_Atomic_Energy_%28Russian_Federation%2 9) has performed a series of subcritical hydronuclear experiments (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Subcritical_hydronuclear_experimen ts&action=edit&redlink=1) near Matochkin Shar each autumn since 1998.[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-jasinsky-15) These tests reportedly involve up to 100 g (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram) of weapons-grade plutonium.[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya#cite_note-nti-16)

What is tamuz 29?

Tammuz 29 is the last day of the fourth month (on the Hebrew calendar.) :)

Thanks, Icebear, I thought that was correct.

What is the significance of this?

[icebear]

that its not Aug 1 :idunno i came into this discussion late :heh

[acceptedinthebeloved]

What is the significance of this?

Some see a connection of "the summer harvest" with this date...

But, Icebear is right, we weren't really discussing that here... Just the fact that the solar eclipse is not on Tammuz 29/Aug 1. :idunno :scratch

[Jack Ryan]

I noticed that a pattern that from the date of the eclipse...

~40 days till Sept. 11 (7 year anniversary)
~60 days till Rosh Hoshana (Sept. 30)
~70 days till Yom Kippur (Oct. 11)

40 a time of testing?
6 = incompletion?
7 = perfection?

What does it mean? :idunno

The bible uses exactness, NOT approximateness.

Probably means nothing.
