Nothing? lol :-D
Wait! New solution!

Pretty sure I can fit any round object on that circle
I am going to overlay it on a bus wheel this afternoon. I will divine the location of the aliens from the position of the bolts, with the assistance of one of the local astrologers that conveniently sit around the university grounds.
The circle with a cross in it is the astronomy symbol for terra or earth. is this where it could be going? it knows earth? allso 2 lines could mean taurus. there is what looks like a divide symbol on there too.
i think that's earth in the middle might mean take us to your leader? wasn't there some one saying its a map. take a UP to earth?
tin foil hat folding going well too.
Also if it is earth that gives us a reference point because the equator and the merdean are things we can use to line up the rest of space around it.
edit
go to earth and look in the direction of the line maybe?

I don't give a darn!
at least as accurate as anything we've come up with so far!

on the list of "notable places the UP might wanna go" Earth has got to be pretty high.
Admittedly if this was a real sci-fi movie situation, I would NOT take it there cause it would probably send a signal that says HAH THE STUPID HYUMIES TOOK US TO THEIR HOMEWORLD LAUNCH THE MISSLES LOL
But for this... yeah it's worth honking it in earth orbit once we get a couple.
(gonna request it be added to the big UP test googoodoc)

OK guys here's my crack at it. Could be very wrong.

Explanation:
Following the Chronology of events I am lead to believe that the UP follows the UA in the search for Barnacles. And the UP is the KEY to finding said barnacles.
Hypothesis:
All elements required to unlock the puzzle are in the picture. Puzzle points us to find something.
Steps:
1) Top left : Merope (main star)
2) Top right: Merope 5
3) Bottom Left / Right : This is what you need to focus on
4) Sphere : Following golden disk's "If interpreted correctly, will resemble a sphere"
5) Line : Golden Ratio
I looked at the line and thought it was the golden ratio, a short google search lead me to this interesting wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis, reading on a bit more, I found this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_spiral, and I thought, OK what if the barnacles have golden ratio's to their "growth" and I overlayed (I'm at work) a barnacle with Fermat's Spiral and it fits!
6) "Legs" : Merope 5C's impact crater.
6a) Lines sticking out : Object with Golden Ratio to have exposed "spikes".
Conclusion:
UP was telling us to look for an object with the golden ratio on Merope 5C.
Object with said golden ratio on Merope 5C are the Barnacles.
ps: I don't have / can't find a full top down view of a barnacle site so I just overlayed the golden ratio for organisms over the central "node" of the Barnacle and it fits.
pps: some commander do an aerial one of a full barnacle site and see if it fits
Edit: Adding in Fermat's Spiral over the barnacle symbol

A morning idea...
T Tauri might be worth another look? The three Nebulae that UA's were found in are in a decent triangle, and T Tauri is right in the middle. I've searched there before and came up with nothing, but this was before 2.1. Decided to take a break from exploring/researching so I can get access to the Corrosion Resistant cargo racks and be a bigger help to ALL THIS FLIPPIN' SCIENCE YA'LL GOT ME INTO

Did a pretty extensive tour there recently (before UPs) with no luck. No anomalies in flight or on the surface. Doesn't mean it isn't worth a look though!
Edit : now I am second guessing myself. Maybe it was Spirograph, disregard this comment.

I've spent 7+ hrs searching for a UP-containing convoy (threat 4 with the Python) in systems known to have them. No progress. Is anyone able to confirm these convoys still exist in the game or have existed in the last 7 days? I understand they are difficult to come by but maybe they are finite?
Hey all, I was listening to Commaner Josh Hawkins brocast the other night and he mentioned the 4 corner symbols as being translated from morse code to R,U,W,D. Nothing new i know but i decided to google the 4 letters different ways and on the first search attempt of RUWD (in that order) the first result was from a bible study tools website which states the definition of the word Ruwd as: to wander restlessly, roam. Well its probably coincidence and there are a total of 24 ways to arrange those 4 letters and google search them but i figured i would chime in with that info. Keep up the good work!
Lat and Lon are defined by two angles and a radius. My interpretation is that the two outer lines are placed outside the grid to lead us to use the angle between them rather than the angles on either side. The ~ 45 degree line can remain inside the grid since the angle on either side of that line is equal (45 degrees). This way we have two clear angles to work with and the radius is given in the planetary description.

Taking it to earth is an interesting idea. TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER???
What are the "parentheses" in the lower right quadrant of the sonogram? Just noise from the conversion process? I thought those might be flares from Merope, and the noise at the bottom might be the solar corona. Probably just distortion introduced by conversion.
RUWD - Drew Wagar Unlocked Raxxla?

Maybe the whole thing is just a true and false table of logic and rhetoric?
- not being sarcastic.
You only have 3 symbols to work with and two seem obvious:
T = -
F = |
or
0 = -
1 = |
But maybe the whole answer is just to put the thing to a true false table and run it backwards against factorial combinations? It could at least possibly eliminate the chaff.

I have been doing some comparisons to the image found in the UP audio and our ships scanner screen.
Working on the assumptions that the quadrants are labeled in binary, and that each quadrant is depicting the top/front of our scanner, here is what I find -
1. The line could be like on our scanners, when a body is below us or above us.
2. This may be saying the body should be positioned within the middle ring on our scanners. If you look on your scanner you will different rings that move out from the centre, showing distance.
3. The may be saying that the body should be below us enough to show two grey rings on our scanner. When in proximity to a body it will show rings around it
4. This could be saying to go this direction or look this way, on our scanners we have similar two lines representing our FOV and direction of travel.
I'm sorry if any part of what I'm suggesting is unclear, I am trying my best to explain what I mean. I have provided a screenshot of what I was looking at when I thought of all this. It isn't the right body obviously just some star I'm at but I tried to position my ship roughly to show each symbol and why I think they are similar to the symbols our scanner uses.
