Juno is G8 + M8. It's nothing special. There is nothing else in it, no planets.

To be honest, if I was looking for a "mother of galaxies", I'd go with

But I'm not sure what would be a "jewel on her brow" in our context.

The asterism itself is in the shape of a crown.
Mach believes pretty strongly it is Burnell, I'd be curious if someone else has followed his path to see if they come to the same conclusions. I do not have time to do it myself, not unless I have a year or so. I believe he is actually searching for Dark Wheel station as a means to find Raxxla.To be honest, if I was looking for a "mother of galaxies", I'd go with

I read the comment about pulsars being just neutron stars where the jet cone direction cycles past Earth. This is correct; however pulsars are rendered differently than neutrons in the jump loading sequence. Pulars and only pulsars are rendered into a much larger gleaming image, the images looks like a jewel. So see for yourself, jump to a standard neutron, then jump to a PSR or proper named pulsar.
Pulsars are strong candidates for sure.
Could you take a screenshot of that?
In my exalted generosity, (insert decorum-bla here),
I have decided that this might be a good time to share one line of thought.
This thought is probably well known because it's quite obvious, but here we go:
The whisperer in witch space is to the left.
Not 90 degrees, but something between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.
What does "left" mean?
If you have a plane of reference, it's just that: "left".
If you don't have a plane of reference or if you are rotating, "left" would form a cone.
And if you don't know the exakt angle of "left", it would form a probability cone, which would look like the jet of a "cone star".
cone stars: neutron stars, white dwarfs, pulsars or any unknown type of cone stars

How did you come to this conclusion exactly?
The starting points for this I think would be Cygnus constellation (Swan) and the well known Cepheids (from Wikipedia):
- Classical Cepheids include: Eta Aquilae, Zeta Geminorum, Beta Doradus, RT Aurigae, Polaris, as well as Delta Cephei.
- Type II Cepheids include: W Virginis, Kappa Pavonis and BL Herculis.
- Anomalous Cepheids include: XZ Ceti (overtone pulsation mode) and BL Boötis.

Simple as that:
If you move your head while in witch space, you can hear more clearly that the weird noises come more from the left.
And if your audio is reversed, it's still on one side, which still forms a cone.

The Quest To Find Raxxla
I think were were looking too hard for "jewel on the brow of the mother of galaxies"... Jewel on the brow of the mother of galaxies may be V886 Centauri - largest diamond in the galaxy. https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/10203/name/V886+Centauri This system is centred around a white dwarf which...
After going through some of the list from the index of Cepheids, I think this will narrow down very quickly to actually small number of candidates.
A lot of Cepheids postdate the galmap creation, and basically if they don't have HD or HIP reference, they do not exist in game. This cuts out probably 95% of this rather exhaustive Cepheid index and within Cygnus constellation there will be maybe 10 candidates tops. Many of them are 3k-5k LY away so I'd probably consider them secondary, but there are some within 1k distance from the bubble that seem plausible. Many are significant bodies - a lot of supergiants and giants of various kinds. There are interesting cases where the primary star identifier and the HD reference actually point to different systems because both have very massive objects (like B0 variable and a black hole) reasonably far apart that the galactic map split them up.
So actually I feel like there may be something interesting about this yet. There is also the question of Polaris which is permit-locked. I'll spend some more time cross-referencing the list of Cepheids with catalogues and galmap to compile the candidates and distances and then will post the results.

OK, I stopped last night in a PSR system, can take a ss. Continuing the survey in 2 hours.

PSRs are sort of weird that they seem to be "clumped" in places.
For instance the area around PSR J0024-7204O has like 20 of them or so.
For those in the bubble, if you want to visit one:
PSR J0030+0451 is close.
Alternative: PSR J0108-1431

I decided to pay a visit to Delta Cephei since that was the original Cephei variable (after which the variables were named). It's a system with binary B stars and a black hole (and a couple brown dwarfs).
Attached a screenshot of the Delta Cephei binaries seen through the black hole. Awesome sights, nothing special otherwise.

I played with Audacity and a neturon star and noticed three things:
1. Neutron stars "sing" - you have to approach them from a side, not from the beam axis, and then they emit their specific "song" - I don't know if it's fixed or if it varies per neutron star.
2. If you approach it from a side, but record one of the beam endpoints, you'll hear ticking that corresponds to the beam frequency.
3. If you approach it from a beam endpoint, it's basically silent.
Attached the spectrogram of the "song" I recorded in V594 CAS B (mainly since I was in the neighborhood).

That seems to presume a VR setup, is that right?
Some additional verification that it is not just an artifact of VR sound production seems to be needed, then.
Plenty of people fly with headphones and head/eye trackers, so should be easily checked.
