1-3 solar units (ie something 1-3 times the size of our sun) nova's, 3-5 go supernova, much larger than that and your looking at a black hole.

Here's something I made in photoshop. I went to Distort>Polar Coordinates and that's it. It kinda makes it look like a radar?

the encoded messages talks about a planet being taken every 16 hrs, maybe the flood can somehow find a way to get on/send something, to a sun of a planet and make it heat up or expand, thus resulting in the planet heating up, or the forerunners altered the stars to heat the planets so the flood couldnt live on it, one of the 1000s of plans that failed...

Gs can you try something for me?
Take the three red boxes and make a new image out of them.
put the right image on the bottom,
stack the middle box on top of it but transparent enough to see the bottom image.
make the red square match exactly with it's location on the bottom image.
Then take the left image making it transparent enough to see through and place it over the other two boxes, again lining up the red square with the other images. I would very much like to see what the combined image looks like.

I had a sort of similar thought in that the three bits of code might leave gaps for letters when placed on top of each other. But I can't tell.

Sarge2552, I'm inclined to think that's more likely to be the rate of how many human planets the covenant are glassing at the moment.

A new theory
Please bare with me here

Okay, I have a theory that's way off on a limb here, but this is going with the theory that the bigger planet shown is Earth. Now, I think that the smaller planet right next to Earth is not the Sun, but the Moon. Okay, so far, nothing new. Now, what if the Flood are actually on the Moon? The three pictures would be a time-lapse of the Flood infecting, or taking over the Moon. OR, it could be that the Forerunners put the Flood on the Moon on purpose, sorta like how they contained the Flood in each of the Halos for further study. If the Ark were to be on Earth, which is their final hope to survive, why would the put the Flood in the Ark, or even on Earth period? It seems to be that in the upper-right picture of INFESTATION, which looks like a thermal image cross-section of the Moon, the border of it is blue to purple, which could possibly the Moon's surface that we see now, cold and lifeless. Now, I think the Flood are contained inside of the moon, where it is warmer. Like a few people pointed out before, the Flood change the atmosphere, which I would assume is to make it hotter. Now, you're probably arguing that if they're inside the Moon, how could they change the atmosphere? Maybe the Flood are contained in sort of a shield world. So, they're in a planet, inside a planet, or in this case, the Moon. Also, since this ARG is also mainly based on the lunar cycle(when the servers open are according to the lunar cycle), it seems pretty plausible to me. Oh, and with this theory, there could be SOMETHING that happens in Halo 3 when the Moon is directly over the Ark. I don't have a clue what could happen, but it seems like if this theory is correct, then the Moon could play a major role in accordance to the Ark. Well, there's my two cents on trying to make sense out of this picture. Tell me what you think.

P.S. Sorry if this is a major load of trout. Just started in this ARG yesterday and I read as much as I possibly could so far.

That is a pretty decent theory actually. It's been speculated that the moon end up here as the after effect of something else in our solar system, so alternatively it could also make sense that the moon is also artificial.

Interesting.

Although it's pretty obvious here's where they are actually from. This was taken from ".Zip" on ABO but I added a couple small things. [/img]

The shapes seem to be the same but not arranged in the same manner. There are other similarites, I just the big ones.

I don't have enough science in my background to know if this affects your theory, but apparently the atmosphere of the Moon is negligible at best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_the_Moon

Well, I pretty much know that. What I meant is that the Flood are inside a world that is inside of the Moon. If you read Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Onyx is a shield world. That's what I was referring to.

My impression of this picture is that we're looking at the same star and same planet, in Infrared, Visible, and Ultraviolet imaging systems, like we do with our own sun. The symbols might just be Covie/Forerrunner script telling us the captions for Infrared/Visible/Ultraviolet.

I find the "planet" in the far right to have a strange shape on it- like a giant tulip flower, on its side, blown up to 1/3 planetary scale. Smile that's a big tulip.
Or maybe you see a goat-skull on the left. Can't match it up with the "719Hz" image, anyway. (Whoever stuck that thing in a spectrum analyzer was a genius.)

In each screen, the planet has the same portion concealed by the star. The grid lines might have thrown you into thinking something had moved.

Otherwise I don't get anything new.

Lining up the red squares (with my limited overlay knowledge) doesn't say much other than that the red areas are of different sizes.


And just for completeness, the only thing I get out of the raw hex is the file creator "Ducky". Smile

Thanks Jelly, any interesting headers or what not on or in the file?
