Opening the image in notepad shows some code in there(<key> and </key>.I don't know which language uses that but I think it's just a dead end.

It is, it has appeared in some of the other images. It is text added by photoshop to the file for guides/layers information.

How is the Glyph upside down when it's almost identical to your avatar? Wink Rolling Eyes

The opening on the glyph has been rotating so it's just another stage of that rotation.

has anyone worked out what we are supposed to do with these yet? Overlays don't look right, I'm pondering if at some point we'll be able to match borders up, though to what end that'll serve is beyond me at this time of night.

Here's an overlay
I did a screen capture to get the guidelines, then rather clumsily cut them out...I used Starimage1 as a base, and lined up the guidelines on the other 2 images. Threw in a black background and some opacity. The grayish lines are leftover from my poor cropping.

basically you just line the avatars up. It's possible that when we have all the star map images there will be a pattern produced, or at least that's what I'm thinking.

edit: someone also arranged them this way.

Ok, done my usual.
Unique to star Image 1 = Red
Unique to star Image 2 = Blue
Unique to star Image 3 = Yellow
And Common to 1+2 = Green
(didn't feel the need to do the "common to ALL" or 1+3 or 2+3.. looks like its going no where)

But cant see a pattern.. other than...
1. the stars that dont change between images (green) are huddled around the center above the glyph.
2. the glyph is counting 1, 2, 3 (duh)
3. there is much star movement activity in the area surrounding the glyph
4. the guides are there to show us how to line these images up (glyph over glyph)

All starred out... see ya when star Image 4 is unleashed.

Hm... could it be possible that the glyph common to these maps gives the location of the Ark? If this was true, then that would mean that the dot in the middle is the Sol system... Earth. And a bit more conjecture; could the star maps we're being given be the effective ranges of the Halo rings?

J2G: Thanks for the map. It certainly makes more sense seen like that.

starimage

the only thing that seems wierd is when you line up the glyphs the stars seem to clutter that certain area. My 2 cents

I thought I'd posted this earlier, but either it didn't go through or I forgot. [spec]It could be possible that when we have all the starimages either a pic or words will be reveled in the overlap.
