Statement of Purpose
Disclaimer: We are physicists NOT astrologers, you should not plan your life on our horoscopes
This is pop cultural scientific activity. The purpose is to alert people of gravitational waves in a fun way, by using astrology. Subscribers will receive alerts of gravitational waves including a fact sheet of basic event info, a "GW birth chart" and horoscope.
Design
GW Birth Chart
- Sun sign: map RA/Dec to constellation and assign sun sign
- Rising: map time of coalescence to rising sign
- Moon: map time and highest SNR detector location to moon sign
Astrological Weather Report
Given GW event time, calculate the sun and moon's current sky position, maybe other things. Generate a horoscope from this information.
- start with an adlib horoscope template
- an array of fill-in words
- map sun, moon, etc. current sky position to index
- aquarius = index + 0
- pisces = index + 1
- etc.
- use those words to fill in the horoscope
