[MCN-L] Today: Exploratorium presents Total Solar Eclilpse: Live from Micronesia webcast beginning 4PM PST

[Rob Rothfarb]

Hello MCN list members!

Today, the Exploratorium, in partnership with NASA and the NSF, is
presenting our live webcast of the total solar eclipse happening over the
south pacific.  We have a production crew on the Micronesian island of
Woleai, with telescopes and satellite uplink.  I'm producing the streaming
which is available on our website at http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse.
I hope you can tune in.  The telescope feed begins at 4PM PST today and our
webcast with hosts from the Exploratorium and NASA is from 5:00PM - 6:00PM
PST.  We also have a telescope feed with narration in Spanish from 5:15PM -
5:45PM PST.  A full four minutes of eclipse totality begins at 5:38 PM PST.

We're doing several experiments with the project which you can also check
out:

1) Total Solar Eclipse app for Android is available on Google Play and
allows you to view all four live streams as well as on-demand videos about
eclipses and past eclipse expeditions.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.exploratorium.totalsolareclipse

2) Watch the total solar eclipse live streams in Second Life on
Exploratorium Island and on Science Circle sims.  More info here:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/blogs/eclipse/come-our-island-second-life-watch-eclipse-webcast

3) We're also streaming via Internet2 multicast.  To view you must be
connected to a research & education network (like CalREN in California or
other regional I2-connected network).  Use the free VLC media player and
browse 'Network streams (SAP) to find the stream links.  More info here:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/multicast

I hope you can check it out and welcome any feedback about our webcast and
streaming experiments.

best regards,
-Rob
