I just saw a clip of phil saying goodbye to tallulah incase when he comes back she wont be here anymore and im suddenly reminded that these eggs are always in mortal peril, the island hates them, the code wants them dead, the federation does not care and everyone is trying their damndest to keep them alive but they are oh so so fragile they break so easily. even if you equip them with the strongest armour the most deadly of swords, they are still up against an insurmountable foe that no one has a clear understanding of, with no known way of deafeating it. everywhere is danger and the likelihood of them dying at any given time is always always possible.

Ive gotten so used to them just hanging about and enjoying their lives and being kids and spending time with their parents and their tios and tias and family because the code hasnt come for a while so that clip really just brought me back to the reality that this is all so fragile and can break at any moment and that tallulah or chayanne or richas or any of the eggs can die the next day and theres nothing that can be done about it and its just so so ssos osejjeeujswkjeje

Earth Observer Earth Home Earth Observer Home Editor’s Corner Feature Articles Meeting Summaries News Science in the News Calendars In Memoriam More Archives 9 min read Looking Back on Looking Up: The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Credit: NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC) Introduction First as a bite, then a half Moon, until crescent-shaped shadows dance through the leaves and the temperature begins to drop – a total solar eclipse can be felt growing in the atmosphere. As the sky darkens in the few minutes before totality, the sounds of animals begin to dissipate along with the vibrancy of red and orange hues, and we enter the mesopic zone, or twilight vision. All is quiet in these cold, silvery-blue moments, until the Moon lines up perfectly with the Sun from our viewpoint on Earth – an odd quirk of the Moon–Earth system, and an occurrence that does not exist elsewhere in the solar system. Millions of people gazed up at the sky on April 8, 2024, as a total solar eclipse darkened the skies across a thin ribbon of North America – spanning Mexico’s Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada – see Figure 1. Figure 1. A total solar eclipse was visible along a narrow track stretching from Texas to Maine on April 8, 2024. A partial eclipse was visible throughout all 48 contiguous U.S. states. Figure credit: NASA Scientific Visualization Studio A pearly, iridescent halo lined the perimeter of the Moon as it crossed in front of the Sun, revealing the Sun’s corona – see Photo 1. Solar prominences – bright features made of plasma flowing outwards through tangled structures of magnetic fields along the Sun’s surface – were observable as reddish-pink dots rising from the edges of the eclipsed Sun – see Photo 2. Photo 1. The moment of totality in Cleveland, OH. Photo credit: NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC) Photo 2. Solar prominence [lower right of the solar disc] seen during totality in Cleveland, OH. Photo credit: GRC Snapshots of NASA Science Outreach Along the Path of Totality Over 400 NASA staff took up positions along the path of totality, hosting various events to engage the public in outreach activities spanning the scope of NASA Science. NASA staff hosted 14 “SunSpot” locations across 7 states (Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maine), including 224 NASA engagement and Science Activation events. As an example, Zoe Jenkins [NASA Headquarters/Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) Federal—Graphic Designer] was stationed in Maine to view the eclipse –see Photos 3–4. More information about events at these SunSpots is available at the eclipse website. The Science Activation Program furthered NASA’s message, reaching all 50 states through public events by sharing information and providing professional development programming for educators. (To learn more about NASA’s Science Activation Program, see NASA Earth Science and Education Update: Introducing the Science Activation Program, The Earth Observer, 35:6, 6–12.) Photo 3.

View of the black hole of the Moon’s shadow over the Sun during totality in Houlton, ME. Photo credit: Zoe Jenkins Among the SunSpot locations across the path of totality, NASA’s Science Support Office (SSO) staffed events at two of them: in Cleveland, OH and Kerrville, TX. The Great Lakes Science Center and its two partners – NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC) and the Cleveland Orchestra – presented “Total Eclipse Fest 2024,” a three-day celestial celebration at North Coast Harbor in downtown Cleveland beginning April 6 and culminating on the day of the eclipse. The event included free concerts, performances, speakers, and hands-on science activities. At the heart of the festival was the “NASA Village,” an immersive experience featuring the agency’s major missions and projects aimed at advancing space exploration and revolutionizing air travel. Figure 2 shows the location of each outreach tent in the village, while Figure 3 provides descriptions of each activity. More than 36,000 attendees visited the NASA village over the three-day event. Exhibits focused on innovations in aeronautics, space, solar, and lunar science, and best practices for ensuring a safe solar eclipse viewing experience. Through virtual and augmented simulations, attendees had the opportunity to take a supersonic flight, walk on Mars, and visit the International Space Station. Attendees of all ages participated in hands-on activities and talked to NASA scientists and engineers about their work and how to join the NASA team. Attendees could also walk through Journey to Tomorrow, a traveling exhibit complete with interactive English and Spanish-language content, and see an Apollo-era Moon rock. Visitors also explored large-scale, inflatable displays of the X-59 plane designed to quiet supersonic air travel, the Space Launch System rocket slated to take the first woman and person of color to the Moon, and a Mars habitat concept. Throughout the NASA Village, attendees could take advantage of several photo opportunities, including iconic NASA cutouts and displays. NASA also hosted astronaut autograph signing sessions, as well as special guest “meet and greets.” Figure 2. Map of the “NASA Village” at the Eclipse festival in Cleveland, OH, hosted by GRC.

See Figure 2 for map. Figure credit: GRC A View of the Eclipse from Cleveland In Cleveland, the eclipse began at 1:59 PM EDT, with totality spanning 3:13–3:17 PM. The eclipse concluded at 4:28 PM. SSO staff supported total eclipse outreach from April 5–9, specifically engaging attendees at the Solar Science tent within the NASA Village and providing information about eclipse safety and heliophysics, and handing out items such as the NASA Science calendar, NASA tote bags, and other outreach materials. SSO also supported a NASA photo booth with eclipse-themed props and took hundreds of souvenir photos for visitors to remember their time at the festival – see Photos 5–9. Photo 5. SSO staff member Dalia Kirshenblat [NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)/Global Science and Technology Inc.(GST)] handed out NASA Science calendars, eclipse glasses, posters, and other NASA outreach materials.

Photo credit: Danielle Kirshenblat Eclipse Engagement in Texas In addition to the Cleveland eclipse festival, SSO staff members supported total eclipse engagement in Kerrville, TX, from April 5–9, including several small events at Cailloux Theatre, Doyle Community Center, Trailhead Garden, and Kerrville-Schreiner Park leading up to the eclipse. (While a bit more remote than Cleveland, Kerville was chosen as a SunSpot location during the total eclipse because it was also in the path of the October 2023 annular eclipse, NASA had outreach activities in Kerville for that eclipse as well). The events culminated on April 8 at Louise Hays Park. NASA’s impact on the community was wide-reaching, engaging approximately 4000 individual interactions with community members and visitors. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and appreciative. On April 8, SSO provided astronaut handler support for NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman – who will command the Artemis II Moon mission – during a “photos with an astronaut” session. SSO staff also escorted Wiseman to and from a main stage speaking engagement and the NASA broadcast engagement – see Photos 10–13. Photo 10.

Photo credit: NASA NASA Science Engagement Across the Agency As millions gazed at totality from the ground, NASA was conducting science from the skies. Atmospheric Perturbations around the Eclipse Path (APEP), a NASA sounding rocket mission, launched three rockets from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to study how the sudden dip in sunlight that occurs during an eclipse affects the upper atmosphere. Each rocket deployed four scientific instruments that measured changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature – see Photo 14. Photo 14. The Atmospheric Perturbations launched around the Eclipse Period (APEP) sounding rocket during the total eclipse on April. This photo shows the third APEP sounding rocket – launched during the October 2023 annular eclipse – leaving the launchpad. Photo credit: WSMR Army Photo As part of the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project, student teams constructed hundreds of balloons and launched them during the eclipse, encouraging students to consider careers in the STEM workforce. Also, two WB-57 aircraft carried instruments to further extend scientific observations made during the eclipse. By taking images above Earth’s atmosphere, scientists were able to see new details of structures in the middle and lower corona. The observations – taken with a camera that images in infrared and visible light at high resolution and high speed – could improve our understanding of the dust ring around the Sun and help search for asteroids that may orbit near the Sun. The WB-57 flights also carried instruments to learn more about the temperature and chemical composition of the corona and coronal mass ejections – or large bursts of solar material. By flying these instruments on a WB-57, the scientists extended their time in the Moon’s shadow by over two minutes from what could be achieved using ground-based observations. A third experiment used an ionosonde to study the ionosphere – the charged layer of Earth’s upper atmosphere. The device functions like a simple radar, sending out high frequency radio signals and listening for their echo rebounding off the ionosphere. The echoes allow researchers to measure how the ionosphere’s charge changed during the eclipse – see Photo 15. Photo 15. Pilots prepare for the 2024 total solar eclipse experiments on the NASA WB-57 aircraft on April 8, 2024 at Ellington Field in Houston, TX. Photo credit: NASA/James Blair The eclipse also provided an opportunity for the public to contribute to the NASA Citizen Science program – a project called Eclipse Soundscapes reached over 900 people during their training programs to prepare for the eclipse. Over 36,000 individual citizen scientists contributed more than 60,000 data submissions across the eclipse path, recording the reactions of wildlife before, during, and after this celestial event. As part of NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year to celebrate the Sun, NASA played a key role in enabling safe participation as well as working with new-to-NASA audiences. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate ordered and distributed 2.05 million eclipse glasses across the country, with distribution locations including K–12 schools, libraries, minority-serving institutions, community events, museums, partner organizations, underserved communities, science centers, and NASA personnel. As of April 8, Science Activation reached over 2000 educators across the country through programming designed to prepare educators for the eclipse and provide them with educational resources to train students in STEM. NASA broadcasted a livestream of engagement events on NASA+, the NASA App, NASA.gov, and NASA social media channels. By 4:30 PM EDT, NASA’s websites spiked (e.g., nasa.gov, science.nasa.gov, plus.nasa.gov, and ciencia.nasa.gov) with nearly 28.9 million views and 15.6 million unique visitors. At its peak, 1,458,212 people watched the eclipse broadcast live, experiencing the eclipse together through the eyes of NASA. Total viewership as of 4:30 PM EDT was 13,511,924. NASA’s Office of Communications Engagement Division organized at least 17 in-person and digital partner interactions, including several Major League Baseball games, Google eclipse safety Doodle and search effect, coverage of NASA on NASDAQ’s screen in Times Square, a solar songs request weekend on Third Rock Radio, and a Snoopy visit to the Cleveland sunspot. Several partners also interacted on social media, including Barbie, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Snoopy, LEGO, and other partner accounts. Conclusion The 2024 total eclipse brought joy and awe to millions, inspiring so many to look up, be curious about the natural world around them, and explore the sky. The next total solar eclipse will occur in 2026 and will be visible in Spain, a small area of Portugal, as well as Iceland, Greenland, and Russia. We won’t see another total eclipse in the U.S. until 2044. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Movie.

The Evolution of Identity and Access Management: SCIM, SAML vs. OpenID Connect, and Integration Challenges

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become crucial for organizations to ensure security, compliance, and efficiency. The increasing reliance on technology has necessitated the development of sophisticated IAM protocols and standards. This blog will explore a SCIM example, compare SAML vs. OpenID Connect, and discuss the challenges and solutions associated with IAM integration.

Understanding SCIM: An Example

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard protocol designed to simplify the management of user identities in cloud-based applications and services. SCIM automates the exchange of user identity information between identity providers and service providers, ensuring seamless integration and synchronization.

SCIM Example

Consider an organization using multiple cloud services, such as Office 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. Managing user identities manually across these platforms can be cumbersome and error-prone. By implementing SCIM, the organization can automate the provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts.

For instance, when a new employee joins the company, the IAM system can automatically create their user account in all relevant cloud services using SCIM. Similarly, when an employee leaves, their access can be revoked across all platforms in a streamlined manner. This automation enhances security, reduces administrative workload, and ensures consistent identity data across all systems.

Comparing SAML vs. OpenID Connect

When it comes to authentication protocols, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OpenID Connect are two of the most widely used standards. Both serve the purpose of providing secure authentication, but they do so in different ways and are suited to different use cases.

SAML

SAML is an XML-based framework primarily used for Single Sign-On (SSO) in enterprise environments. It allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without re-entering credentials. SAML is commonly used in scenarios where secure, federated access to web applications is required, such as accessing corporate intranets or SaaS applications.

OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect is a modern identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It uses JSON-based tokens and is designed for mobile and web applications. OpenID Connect provides a more flexible and user-friendly approach to authentication, making it ideal for consumer-facing applications where user experience is paramount.

SAML vs. OpenID Connect: Key Differences

Protocol Structure: SAML uses XML, whereas OpenID Connect uses JSON.

Use Cases: SAML is suited for enterprise SSO, while OpenID Connect is better for modern web and mobile applications.

Token Types: SAML uses assertions, whereas OpenID Connect uses ID tokens.

User Experience: OpenID Connect generally offers a more seamless and user-friendly experience compared to SAML.

The Challenges of IAM Integration

With the growing reliance on technology, integrating various IAM components and protocols has become increasingly complex. Effective IAM integration is essential for ensuring that different systems work together harmoniously, providing a seamless and secure user experience. However, several challenges can arise during the integration process.

Compatibility Issues

Organizations often use a mix of legacy systems and modern applications, leading to compatibility issues. Ensuring that different IAM solutions can communicate and share identity data effectively is a significant challenge.

Data Consistency

Maintaining consistent identity data across multiple platforms is crucial for security and compliance. Any discrepancies in user data can lead to unauthorized access or account lockouts.

Scalability

As organizations grow, their IAM systems must be able to scale accordingly. Integrating IAM solutions that can handle an increasing number of users and applications without compromising performance is vital.

Security Concerns

Integrating multiple IAM solutions can introduce security vulnerabilities if not done correctly. Ensuring that data is securely transmitted and that all systems adhere to robust security protocols is paramount.

Solutions for Effective IAM Integration

To overcome these challenges, organizations should adopt a strategic approach to IAM integration:

Standardization

Adopting standard protocols such as SCIM, SAML, and OpenID Connect can simplify integration by ensuring compatibility and consistency across different systems.

Centralized Identity Management

Implementing a centralized IAM platform can help streamline identity management processes and ensure consistent data across all applications and services.

Regular Audits

Conducting regular audits of IAM systems and processes can help identify and address potential vulnerabilities and inconsistencies, ensuring that the integration remains secure and effective.

Vendor Support

Working with reputable IAM vendors who offer comprehensive support and integration services can significantly ease the integration process and ensure a successful deployment.

Conclusion

As organizations continue to increase their reliance on technology, the need for robust and effective IAM integration becomes more critical. By understanding the differences between SAML vs. OpenID Connect, leveraging standards like SCIM, and adopting strategic integration practices, organizations can enhance security, streamline operations, and provide a seamless user experience. The right IAM solutions not only protect against cyber threats but also empower businesses to thrive in the digital age.

Boomi Single Sign On

Title: Streamline User Access and Security with Boomi Single Sign-On (SSO)

Introduction

Managing multiple logins across different applications can be a hassle for users and a security headache for IT teams. Boomi Single Sign-On (SSO) provides a powerful solution, allowing users to authenticate once and access their Boomi account seamlessly without the need for separate credentials. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of Boomi SSO and a step-by-step guide for setting it up.

What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication system that enables users to use one set of credentials (username and password) to access multiple connected applications securely. With SSO implemented, users don’t have to remember different login details for each system they need to use.

Benefits of Boomi SSO

Enhanced User Experience: SSO eliminates the need to manage multiple passwords, making access more accessible and convenient. This leads to higher user satisfaction and productivity.

Improved Security: With fewer passwords, the risk of password-related security breaches (like weak passwords and reuse) significantly decreases. SSO also often couples with centralized user management, enabling better user lifecycle control and auditing for compliance.

Simplified Administration: IT administrators can centrally manage user accounts and access rights from a single location. This streamlines user provisioning and de-provisioning processes, saving time and effort.

Setting Up Boomi SSO

Boomi supports SAML 2.0, an industry-standard protocol for SSO, allowing integration with various Identity Providers (IdPs), including:

Popular cloud IDps like Azure Active Directory, Okta, OneLogin

On-premises solutions such as Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)

Here’s a general outline of the setup process:

Choose an Identity Provider (IdP):  Select an IdP that aligns with your organization’s existing infrastructure and security requirements.

Configure the Identity Provider:  Set up your IDP to connect with Boomi. This includes generating a metadata file or certificate and defining user attributes that will be exchanged during the SSO process.

Configure Boomi:

Go to the Settings section in your Boomi account.

Navigate to SSO Options under the Security tab.

Enable SAML SSO.

Import the IDP metadata or certificate.

Define any necessary attribute mappings for Boomi to receive user information.

Test and Roll Out: Test the SSO implementation thoroughly with a few users before rolling it out to your entire organization.

Important Considerations

Federation ID: Ensure the federation ID attribute is correctly configured in your IdP and Boomi settings. The federation ID is a unique identifier that links users between the systems.

Attribute Mapping: Verify that the user attributes Boomi requires (like email) are appropriately mapped to the attributes provided by your IDP.

Conclusion

Boomi SSO delivers a seamless and secure user experience while reducing IT teams’ management overhead. With careful planning and the steps outlined above, you can successfully implement SSO and enhance the usability and security of your Boomi environment.
