 		Good to see people picking this apart, but we're thinking fairly linearly here. The glyph is transposed over an image of stars. It doesn't have to be a map, or even a blueprint. What if it's just another clue as to the purpose of IRIS?

That's a great idea dude but...um i don't know how we are going to get an image of the sky 100,000 years ago.

I don't think we'll find out until we get more star images.

and yes, I think we will.
considering this is "Star Image 1"

Sorry, although I don't have one, i thought some astronomy programs were available commercially that would do that, since they would have forward predictors, you could cycle them backwards.

I agree. I think ultimately we're following a lot of dead-ends here, but there's nothing better to do while we wait for new information/clues. To paraphrase Thomas Edison, we will have found 10,000 ways that won't work Wink

The glyph is known as "Chrystopheneron" or something of the sort.

However, the ARG itself is known as "Iris." We also know that the old Transmission Log was detailing the transfer and/or activation of something called Iris

 		Chrysopteron. It's an epithet for Iris.

 		Duplicated stars
I overlayed the images again, and cleaned it up to ONLY show the duplicated stars (and the glyph).

Nothing is jumping out at me with respect to this pattern.

 		nismo634 posted another proof that it's created over on args.bungie.org.

When you blow out the contrast you can see a perfectly black background with sharp squares around each star. A real picture would have noise in the background and there obviously wouldn't be squares around each star.

That thread here: http://args.bungie.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=504&start=10&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

When he did this, I noticed a shape in the top right hand corner of the image which I haven't seen mentioned before, and I blew up this area and increased the contrast.

[SPEC] There will be more StarImages, perhaps with more symbols?? This may not be another glyph, but could perhaps be some Forerunner writing?

From the top right hand corner of the StarImage:

 		Spec-

Glyph 1- AR/SOTA
Glyph 2- StarImage1
Glyph 3- Back panel of Monitor on Sever 5

Looking at the Forerunner Monitor (?) on Server 5, we have all seen that a new version of "the glyph" is present on the lower portion of it's back panel. This new glyph (which I am going to call Glyph3) also contains the small circle at the end of one of it's arms that we see in StarImage1.

Below Glyph3, on the Monitor (?), there are 4 more variations of Glyph1 which have not been highlighted and do not seem (hard to tell) to have any circles.

These glyphs will most likely be highlighted as the next servers are opened, each with a small circle on one of it's arms. If that is true it would logically follow that when we see a StarImage2 a new glyph will be present.

By the placement of Glyph2 in StarImage1, I would guess that Image2 will be the same as Image1 with the addition of a new Glyph. Follow? We would then basically have StarImage1 with 2 Glyphs in it.

Until we have something like this.

 		That seems very possible. When I first saw the star map, I thought that the glyph was strangely dull. If with the new servers opening the glyphs get brighter or even change color... It begs the question though what exactly the glyphs are. It's a good assumption made here that there are 6 variatons of the glyph. It seems likely that they symbolise each server, and then the final one symbolises the array as a whole.

But then that begs the question what exactly are the servers to warrant their own functional glyphs from the Forerunners? Even as something to tell their story, it's like giving a series of history books their very own word in the english language.

But then, I guess given the overbearing worth of this information...

 		Kenya
I put the StarImage over a map of Kenya and the glyphs lined up perfectly with mombassa and the stars lined up with some cities I'll post the pic
