 Page 2What your stars hold for you the week of October 13 - 19 Eclipse season is upon us. It’s an amazing and scary time, when the universe changes gear and we have a chance to change with it. Consider the idea that we’re all creating our reality with our thoughts, and our souls have a desired path. Sometimes we drift off the path that we know we should be on. That’s what eclipses are for – they provide a rare break in the flow of life. When an eclipse hits your chart, it’s as if you get a break in the fabric of time and you can leap from one life to another. If you’re Aries, Libra, or Aries or Libra Rising, it’s safe to assume you’ll feel it. But we all have Aries and Libra in our chart, so we all have a chance to feel the energies. If you want to work with the eclipse, not against it, ask yourself what you’re willing to let go of? What or who do you need to forgive? We pay lip service to forgiving people, and then a chance remark can make it clear that we haven’t forgiven them at all. Eclipses are about moving on and any bottled-up anger or upset can stop that from happening. Use this eclipse to move on from the past and start a new future. That means stop blaming, stop fearing and start expecting the best – because expecting the best is a more sure-fire way to manifest it. The full moon eclipse takes place at 9.37am on Saturday.

ARPANSA recommends viewing an eclipse using indirect methods.A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, and the moon fully or partially obscures the sun. It is extremely dangerous to look directly at the sun even during a solar eclipse. You should never attempt to observe a total, partial or annular eclipse with the naked eye. The safest technique for viewing a solar eclipse is indirect viewing. For example you can easily project an image of the sun onto a screen or you can view live streams on TV or online. Children's eyes in particular are extremely delicate and transmit more light through to the retina.This makes children’s eyes are more susceptible to damage from intense light. The use of eyewear marketed as 'eclipse glasses' has become more popular. Safe use of these glasses relies on the filtering ability of the lenses and the design of the frames. Even where the lenses are certified to meet the applicable standards, improper use of these glasses may still result in serious eye damage. ARPANSA recommends that solar eclipse glasses should not be used to directly view a solar eclipse.
The main hazards to the eye from very intense sunlight are from heat (infrared radiation), UVR (ultraviolet radiation) and from excessive visible light, especially blue light. Even a momentary glance at the sun can focus a very intense amount of heat onto the back of the eye (retina). UVR can cause 'sunburn' to the outer surface of the eye (cornea). The least understood risk is from blue light which may also cause damage to the eye through photochemical retinopathy. Normally the sun is so intense that it is difficult and very dangerous to look at it directly. Looking at the intense light from the sun even for just a few seconds can cause permanent damage to the retina (part of the eye directly responsible for vision). The retina has no sensitivity to pain, and since the effects of retinal damage may not appear for hours, there is no warning that an injury to your eye has occurred. The amount of time looking at the sun that will cause loss of sight varies from eye to eye but in all cases is only a matter of seconds. During a total solar eclipse so much of the sun is covered that a person may be tempted to stare at it directly. It is possible to suffer serious and permanent eye damage by looking at any type of solar eclipse and there is no treatment. Children are especially at risk due to more light reaching the retina than adults. The safest way of viewing a solar eclipse is to use indirect methods. NASA is committed to providing the best educational resources for its programs as well as its live event coverage. As a leader in technological innovation in the federal space, NASA was focused on ensuring this historic, once-in-a-lifetime eclipse event, could be shared by millions across the world through a high-performance solution. We are very honored to be a part of such a driven and innovative team and to have played a role in this monumental event. On a day where millions experienced a once in a lifetime total solar eclipse, NASA’s tireless efforts to provide the public with a seamless live-streaming experience of eclipse feeds from across the country resulted in one of the largest web-based events U.S. government history. NASA’s coverage of the eclipse was a homerun in the IT world and is a testament to the Agency’s commitment to technological excellence in everything they do in support of both their scientific endeavors and their duty to share their experiences with the world, showing that IT collaboration and partnership in the federal government is not only possible but wildly successful. On Monday, NASA surpassed expectations, streaming 18 live feeds from across the country, including high-altitude balloon feeds, telescope views and shots from various aircraft situated along the path of totality from Oregon to South Carolina. Just as impressive as the content being served was the amount of web-traffic NASA.gov received, recording over 30 million visitors over its 6 hours of coverage, resulting in over 80 million page views and at peak levels, sustained over 1.5 million concurrent users – all of which are record-shattering statistics for the Agency. Livestreaming is no easy feat. An architecture in which supports millions who are livestreaming is even harder. Not being able to accurately guess or predict just how many viewers would tune in and then planning for an architecture to support an unknown amount is unthinkable, until Monday. "We were in uncharted territory. We predicted that this would be our most watched event, but we didn’t really know to what level,” Nagaraja said. “Mobomo had the arduous task of testing [the site] to the limits that they possibly could and then being able to build something that could scale to the level above that depending on what happened on eclipse day." Crucial to the success of the eclipse coverage was ensuring that NASA.gov sustained high performance levels under considerable levels of users visiting the website, which required significant planning and collaboration between NASA and members of the WESTPrime contract team, who manage both application development and the backend cloud-based infrastructure. In addition to developing the main Eclipse Live page and an interactive solar eclipse map tracker, which allowed users to view the real-time progression of the eclipse across the continent, we were also tasked with stress-testing the website and its backend infrastructure to ensure it would perform at a high level under significant increases in user traffic. It was impossible to know just how many users would tune in to watch the event which made it very difficult to test. Mobomo was responsible for building the backend of the web page and created the interactive graphic that tracked the eclipse in real time which allowed for people to find the best viewing time for their geographic location. The biggest unknown was user testing, we were able to bring on a consultant to run a stress test on the site and simulate millions of people using the site at once. At the same time the consultant ran the test, Mobomo team had a few people head to the site to see how it felt. He didn’t tell them that at that very moment about over a million users were also on the site doing the same thing. |
