A great piece of work, and sorry to pee on your fries - but one has already been done

Ok it might be my dirty mind but that barnacles tip is showing hahahaaaa
Nebulae can look like many things from different perspectives. This is my current theory. Not a conclusion. I have had several in game players tell me that the Pleiades Nebula looks like that. This isnt myself coming up with everything.
Look at the California Nebula

Look at the witch-head nebula:

Look at the Pleiades Nebula:

Dont say that using the real life images of these nebulae is discredited because an artist could have been using them to create the barnacle's symbol.
Nebulae are space clouds, one can make them out to look like anything they imagine. You take your interpretation of them and create one symbol and you have the barnacle symbol. This is a theory not a conclusion and until someone finds a barnacle outside of these three nebulae I will continue with this theory.
1- That barnacles are only found in these three nebulae
2- That these three nebulae are depicted in the barnacle symbol as the three shapes.
3- That the origin of the barnacles resides in proximity to these three nebulae, most likely somewhere near the center of the triangle shape they form.
Probably a dead end, but let me do an initial search tonight and I'll post tomorrow what I found/didn't find and what lead me there.
Edit - I supposed I can share the relevance of the date though..
The system I had in mind hasn't been updated in https://eddb.io/ for sometime, working off the idea that it's had Barnacles there that no one's thought to go out an find.

Yes, why Merope... is there something significant there that we have missed...
Is there an unknown probe there? (Or did someone already find it, shoot it;.... and that is why Drew is fleeing the bubble like a bat out of hell?)
I don't know... but its where the action seems to be!
I think the symbol relates to an Alliance of paul's that are based in these Nebulas.
Makes sense that an alliance would come up with a symbol, like the UN shows all countries.
I'm starting to think this is more human related maybe 'the Missing'.

Wait... but ... from the middle it wouldnt look like that. I mean - the symbole of nebulas. If you were looking from the middle they would be on the sides of your field of view, right? Of course, you can look at them while you are under or above them, then maybe it would look like that, but still you would need to be in quite some distance from nebulas to see them like that... right?
The unknown probe. I dont think anyone has posted anything about this. But the Voyager Probe in Sol is hard to find because of its static placement... would not surprise me if its the same with an unknown probe.
Adding to that theory. The hind nebula and Merope are big points for looking for the probe. Not on planets but in space.
When I asked that question it appears the first mention of them was under the prohibited goods in the system map information.
At first people thought they were the Unknown Artefacts... but this was later confirmed by Michael Brookes that Unknown Probes and Unknown Artefacts are two separate things.
They were not mentioned. Someone just found it in the "Illegal" commedites. You can sometimes see it there when you look what that system allows.
People have looked countless days in other nebulae for them but non con-clusive
People are still looking, they just don't tell you when they don't find them.
they are currently discussing a plan on Discord to coordinate searching in more nebulae.
The problem are tha Barnacles are so hard to find.
Even if you find a planet that matches the right conditions, they are so vast that you can spend many hours/days and still not find them.
Just because you don't find them doesn't mean that they are not there.

We look not to the planets or the stars; no, we look to ourselves...

Supprised the mods have not come in and said "etc etc forum break new thread"
There are still just over 800 posts remaining in this thread.
Edit:
So they have probably only a couple of hours left...

I'm looking at my naval - does that count?
Just a way-out-there thought (that may or may not have been mentioned in the prior 3600 pages of stuff) but...
Nebulae... barnacles...
Cause and effect?
Or... effect and cause...?
Are there barnacles where they are because there's a nebula there, or is there a nebula there because of the barnacles?
Are we (i.e., in-game humanity) sure that they haven't been there a long, long time (i.e., at least thousands of years) and we just now discovered them? Or are we sure that they're a new thing that have just appeared and definitely haven't been there for a very long time? I *assume* it very likely that the barnacles aren't the cause of the nebulae, but it doesn't hurt to question the possibility (and to have it excluded because of evidence to the contrary.)

So I pretty much spent all of last week plus some searching the Witch Head, Spirograph, NGC 1999, & Running Man nebulas focusing on planets that met the criteria and found nothing. I did locate what looked to be a very old crashed ship with occupied escape pods (some of the missing?) but beyond that and several dozen explorer data caches, not a thing... That Running Man nebula is pretty big though - a lot of stars in there...
Edit: Re-looking at the barnacle spreadsheet, I'm heading back to Spirograph. The requirements match on several of the planets found there.
