Here is my theory. one among many others. the UA's emit Morse to signify that they know who we are and what we are, making us and where we come from a POI add to that the UA and UP point to merope making it a POI. taking that info and combining it with the image the UP gives us, what if we line up the two prongs of the UP image with sol and merope. giving us a reference for a map.

The simplest/most logical hypothesis I can make out of the diagram is that it is coordinates to a location on merope 5c. Use the angles to get the coordinates, but then we would need signifiers for "latitude" and "longitude" in order to use the coordinates. These signifiers seem simple:
1. The two half circles in the upper right quadrant may be away to indicated "latitude" to other species. When viewing a globe from above, this is how latitude lines appear (parallel with different circumferences as you move through the z-axis of the planetary body).
2. The upper left quadrant then signifies "longitude", using a single long arc that intersects with the planet's poles.
Then using the binary digits to read the diagram in order, one can start at l-- using the angle as a coord for -l- (longitude). Moving clockwise to step -ll (signifying latitude), we now get the lat. coord from the angles given in step --l.
Finally an alien would need something to indicate whether the coords are + or -. Overlaying the far right section of the spectrograph with the middle portion creates an image in which the two half circles in the upper right quadrant overlap perfectly (indicating positive coords), while a new "longitude" arch over laps with the lower left quadrant ( indicating negative coords).
Im testing different coords on merope 5c now and throughout this week to see if this holds true. After all the probe points toward merope 5c.
That's what everyone though in initially, and still do. But the probe also points there probably to report back to. It was hinted that maybe merope isnt the planet we are looking for
I'm starting to look at the clue a being a more "broad" description of the planet/system we are looking for. The bottom dots and dashes representing the 3rd planet in a system of 5. The top could mean its a moon around a ringed planet etc..
Yeah, just saw the edit. Hmm. Not sure about the argument of latitude - thought that was itself undefined [edit no wait that's 0-inclination. Ah I give up...] for circular orbits and in any event varied with time? - but given how rusty I am, it seems churlish of me to quibble and I suspect the thread needs more signal, less astrodynamics ;o) You could well be right.
I guess the important question is - do the orbital parameters of M5c, or indeed any other body, allow us to match the map to a body?

Well, this is only mildly concerning...has this been done before? I layered the stellar field of Orion with the bubble, with the reversed line from the diagram :/
I still think those glyphs in the left part are a song that can be played in a sequencer-like fashion.
Perhaps just some kind of easter-egg. After all the Golden disk on the Voyager was fillen with any kind of music from our specie (Mozart, Behethoven...)
If someone with a bitmap to sound plugin could extract/cut that part and let it play like this guy did a million posts ago, BUT WITHOUT STRETCHING THE IMAGE, it could be nice

OK, i knew that everyone on merope got the strange all in the same inst... but this freaked me out... i can target another guy in an SRV at 1.4Mm

First of all: If have read the first side (over and over again)
So I know
- There are not unlimited amounts of UPs to play with
- You brave fellows tests it nearby the Barnies
- The voices in my head are real...but only for me. The rest don't hear them (see above)
But... Is there a way to drop an UP INSIDE the center of the Barnie(mom)?
The voices say, it wants to show us something

Its just the wording the U P is the PROBE which is something you'd think would be the thing looking since its a probe.. the artifact who knows what it is. Maybe it is the more advanced of the 2?
Reposting to not forget that one.
Testing?
UA scans surrounding -- well your ship. Getting input data.
UP might be collecting data and for some reason it points towards Merope 5c and it is more like.. relay? Something to send data from UAs back- where?

I got a little excited and posted without combining the chart!
is it just moons you can find barnacles on any perticular type of planet?
Could the four quadrants on the circle denote 4 types/process for exploring planets?
Top Right - Scanning from space
Top Left - Oribtal cruise
Bottom left - Area on ground, POI
Bottom right - Ground traversal

Good idea but I wonder why UP reveals what we already know... I do not think devs have inserted this new puzzle just for that, it would be the biggest Troll ever !
remember that the information that the UP holds is not for us. now where was that website that had the merope system in 3d so i can prove myself to be wrong...
An EGG. Merope is an EGG. It will hatch (rip open) SOON.
Merope is an EGG. It's so clear, why haven't you figured it out yet? Take a look at the decoded transmission.

Others have translated the symbols on the four corners.
Bottom-Right = 1
Top Left = 2
Top Right = 3
Bottom Left = 4
Treat the numbers as referring only to each quadrant of the circle in the center. 1 refers to the bottom right quadrant. 2 to the top left. 3 to the top right. 4 to the bottom left.
Now treat the numbers as chronological, as marking out a sequence of events (1 = oldest, 2 = newest, 3 = current, 4 = future)
Finally, treat the circle as being a planet and the meaning of the transmission becomes perfectly clear and obvious.
Random Thoughts:
* Perhaps Jacques is where they need to go. Perhaps the race is calling them home. Actually I know nothing about Jacques so who knows, but would be a fun way to resolve a war. We're getting practice now in the whole "go to Jacques" community goal.
* The Federation perhaps knows there's something inside planet. It's testing.
* The Probe knows that the brood mother was lost somewhere, it's searching for the children.
* Thargoids are similar to praying mantis's.
From the Praying Mantis wiki: "In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring."
We do know a little bit about Thargoid reproduction:
From the Thargoid Wiki: "No notable reproductive organs have been found in specimens, leading scientists to theorise that there must be a separate **phenotype** of Thargoid that is responsible for the reproductive act."
We're going to meet the phenotype. We'll probably kill a lot of their babies.
Should we stop and think?
TLDR; The 'numbers' in the four corners map out a sequence events, the nesting of Thargoids within Merope, their hatching and destructive exodus. The probes are looking for a lost brood-mother.

Disclaimer: Ok, maybe it isn't that obvious, well ok maybe it's completely uncertain, but it's an interesting theory isn't it?*

- Long ago (earlier Elite galaxy): Something (let's call it a Thargoid) burrowed into the center of Merope.
- A while back (but sooner): Thargoids grew and spread inside the inside of the planet or rested within its shell.
- Now: Thargoids are getting scanned from above the surface of the planet. Wakes it/them up.
- Future: Planet splits open. Egg hatches. Thargoids come out.

Except if you laid the grid into a crater, as you say, the longitude lines would curve in the other direction AND, there would be distortion on the X and Y axes. I've shown there's only distortion on the Y axis.
Hi everyone.
Just wish to share my opinion. I guess this message is a key to a lock yet to be implemented in the game. I hope i'm wrong, but i'm afraid the next big finding will not come before the next patch. Again, i hope i'm wrong. You guys are amazing! Keep up the good (scientific) work! And rizal72, congrats on your discovery.

HR 1185 I believe
Why would they curve in the other direction?
