Alright.. to help those who weren't around for the discovery of all the moons, I've made a labeled version of the picture based on the latest moon list. Let me know if I've mismatched any of these

Damn, Dio. I just did the same thing. Posting my version as I drew lines also trying to see if the "dots" had any correlation to where other pictures were placed in the overall scheme.
Some of them did what I was looking for, but many did not.
Does this jog anyone else into a way we could go?

Alright, here's another version that might help out SOMEONE.. certainly not me though. I guess I just suck at connect the dots. In this one I've added colored dots over the stars in each picture, corressponding to the planet that moon circles.

Jupiter = Red
Saturn = Yellow
Uranus = Green
Neptune = Blue

As for "connecting the dots" into the letters that others have seen..I can see the "L" of Jupiter, the "T" of Neptune... I can vaguely see the "A" of Saturn... but I don't know HOW an "S" comes out of Uranus. Honestly? I dont see any pattern in Uranus at all.

Good job, guys! Although it's not useful to me at the moment...no luck here.

I know this is off-topic, but check this survival-on-the-moon check-list out...it's actually very interesting. Unfortunately I read it sloppily and made obvious mistakes (I read I'm orbiting around the moon in a space capsule...stupid me).
As an added bonus, try to guess how I found this. Wink

the Uranus dots also look like the orion constellation

I got V for Neptune and L for Jupiter, so I tried love, live, vile, vial and veil, to no avail (sorry for that pun).

My drawing skillls are pretty limitted, but maybe this helps

The "V" could be a "U"..

Gaul? Nope...

*sighs* I gotta go get dressed for the day.. slept in big time.

no one has mentioned this yet.

the order from the earth is JSUN.

this is equal to Jason.

this points back to argonaut.html

maybe this helps someone........

No, I really dont think so.

It's been pointed out every few puzzles that the filename of the webpage simply reflects back to the solution of the previous puzzle. Hence, this puzzle is theadversary.html since the previous ones solution was professormoriarty. I could give you all the other exampoles, but that'd be a waste of space.

Furthermore, argonaut.html was like.. three puzzles ago.

Good eye though! The conventions of this trail may make that discovery useless, but it IS the kind of discovery that would be useful in a different game perhaps.

Quick question: Did anyone check to see if the background relates to the actual night sky? One thing I thought was odd is that the star on the picture doesn't necessarily relate to the name of the moon. Example: for Portia the star shown doesn't indicate her.

I was wondering why certain stars were highlighted in the picture.

Also - I remember an ilovebees puzzle using images of people that was solved using the direction the eyes of the person in the picture was looking. I have been wondering if the position of the star in the image had anything to do with the ordering of the images.

---
I tried putting them in alphabetical order -- could the order of the dots be alphabetical as with the numbers in the Arizona highway sign puzzle?

I'm pretty sure that connecting-the-dots is the way to go, but I can't make sense of the result as you can see up there.

I've been trying various applications of ROT-N+1. No hits so far.
