Cryptic Elite Instagram/Twitter posts?

But I haven't a clue about the rest of it!

If this is a (partial) solution I find it a bit inelegant - I was looking for something more comprehensive :- but in retrospect I don't think the "615 LY body 3" can be a coincidence. Can anybody see anything else in this?

A second clue for the location / the fix?

What the hell kind of intelligent life form would send out information like this if they wanted the ordinary individual (say, myself) to spot it?
Yes, I'm being slightly sarcastic. 👺
Given what we've seen this year, I have no doubt humans are quite capable of sending out information like that thinking another human could make sense of it.
 
Would there be any reason why only the first 2 columns make sense?

No, this is why I initially discounted this effort at a first glance. (ironically I was looking for a more sophisticated solution!)
I speculate that it is "random" to make the encoded message less obvious; but I would like to find some relevance in other columns, but I'm just not seeing it.
Not even sure the "LONG" in the first column makes sense (initially thought it should relate to longitude) but it was the first word I saw when initially looking at the encoded message days ago!

I feel pretty stupid for not looking more thoroughly at this.

(to recap the LP was used to redirect the Adamastor from Synuefe XE-Y c17-7 to the geographical survey on Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 located on body 3, 615 LY away.)
So I'm increasingly confident the "615 LY body 3" is at least part of the message, just wonder if there is anything else.

Do we have a longitude for it?
I'm not seeing anything else either tbh.

I believe the longitude for the geological survey site is -38.0 degrees (which is 38.0 degrees west -- positive numbers run east). Look just to the left of "WEST" and you can find all the characters needed. (There's a negative sign under "LONG" if you feel all the clues should proceed vertically, but it's not in alignment with the numbers.)

If the French "OUEST" was changed back to "WEST", that might make sense so as not to offset all the subsequent characters in the grid, which would push the ".0" in "38.0" out of vertical alignment.

I'm wondering if either (1) the remaining numbers, letters, and symbols not already used stand in for different numbers, letters, or symbols, or (2) there's some sort of "so many grid spaces right... so many grid spaces down..." instructions encoded in the Instagram binary pictures (maybe associated with the different brightness levels).

ok not very neat but you get the idea - there must be more in this I'm not seeing. - but if you look at colum 2 you can see 615 Ly body 3.

i don’t see the message spaces represented in this, as they could be positionally important to a grid like this.

Edit: wait I think I’m just tired...
 
Yea, i remember seeing that on one of the threads but i'm no expert or really know much about them..
However, does that mean that any letter, like L will always be L, no matter where in the message?
Any character can be exchanged for any other character. Some characters in the language are just more common than others. E for example is the most common character in English. The characters in the code may give you some clue to the characters in the message. It's clear to me that the code is not jumbled about English, since uncommon characters are actually common in the code. So they must have been exchanged. You would normally look for a key word to break the code. For example I looked for Adamastor using the repeating a a a but no success.


Edit I should give a shout out here to this work too. Great minds think alike...

Thinking there should be a LAT somewhere as it doesn't seem finished..
Afaik, the binary was never completed and parts were guessed. Was it finished? (...ula) for example.

The 30 October 3111 log scanned from the Adamastor at Chukchan has the star class, planet type, and latitude.

The 3 x 3 binary images made a complete message which pointed to the general region and the behavior of one of the geologists (Murphy).
