nothing special. found a bunch before.
nice one, got one in ross 47 a couple of weeks ago
Did you rob it
i'm waiting to see if they high wake or anything. There's still 2 conda protecting it

It's nice to put a face to the nome del pilota!
Guys something has changed on Merope 5c since this afternoon's patch: The coordinates aren't reversed anymore. I've followed this since the beginning of thread 7 and (like others) used the 'golden angle' to go from 0 lat 0 long on a heading of 137. I searched for hours at a time and found nothing worth posting. Because MB used the word "direction" twice in today's cryptic posts, I thought I'd go back and reverse the heading to 222 (opposite direction) because ... well I'm as stuck as everyone else.
0 degrees used to be next to the huge crater... it isn't anymore and the coordinates are working properly. Following the golden angle will now not only take me in a totally different route to before the update, the starting point of 0 degrees is now in a totally different place.
I really hope the folks at FDev haven't been scratching their heads wondering why we weren't following their really obvious clue... then realised they'd got the planet the wrong way round.

Many thanks good Sir. Phew, just a quick look and my hopes of finding an 'easier' way to determine likely candidates are dashed. Quite random distribution. Am also hanging my head in shame because i thought i'd checked the bncl-meta doc. Thanks again
OK, MB what have you done this time!
Enough!
We have too many mysteries now lol
This is from the tower (inside, at the rear) in the Linnaeus station in G 99-49
More to come in s short moment ...

Yeah this has bugged me too. At what point is a binary planet just a moon.

Interesting... So histogram that much/length and compress the image, or overlay it with itself or something?

hmmmm. If this is true i'll be making my way over there shortly. I've been waiting for any sort of tipoff that something has changed so I can return.
If the barycenter is in space between the planets, it's a binary system.
If it's inside the bigger one, the small one is a moon.
Do large craters usually have mounds in the middle? Hip 17225 also has this, like M5c
well time to revisit my theories
all or nothin
all or nothin
What if its inside the smaller one?

Yes, its a natural effect for the same reason you get a rebound drop when a water droplet hits a surface.
Yes, it's very common.

That's no moon.
And just throw this out there, but PI being expressed as "3.14159..." (or rounded even further to "3.142" in this case) is specific to human-centric base-10 math. If this truly is alien in origin, there's no reason to assume that they'd use base-10 math. (And not just base ten math, but base ten AND base 2, like we do. Unless we assume that the aliens have hands with the same number of fingers, and decided to base their math on that fact, just like humans did, etc.)
For the 3-1-4-2 theory to work out, we must read these marking and assume they're binary representations of those digits/numbers, but if this species uses binary for math, then the ratio for the circumference of a circle to its diameter in pure binary (if I did my math right) would be (in binary) 011.001001000 (approximated in 12 binary "digits" and very rounded), which if split into 3-binary-digit groupings would come out as 011 001 001 000, i.e., 3-1-1-0 and not 3-1-4-2. In PURE BINARY.
Just throwing that out there. Personally, I'm very inclined to think that the "numbers" (if indeed they are numbers, which is quite plausible) are NOT a binary representation of a decimal representation of PI, as that's such a purely human thing to do.
Of course, there's nothing (that I know of) that says that the message ISN'T human in origin...
Wow, don't say that. I get shivers!
It was a glorious answer though xD

It can't be inside the one with less mass.
It's true. It means that those of us who spent hours following a search pattern to match the graphic were starting in the wrong place and going in the wrong direction.
But mass is exclusive of volume? an iron rich planet can have a higher mass of a carbon rich planet. or am i overthinking this.... xD
