A dipleidoscope is an instrument used to determine true noon; its name comes from the Greek for double image viewer.

"Rømer's theory was controversial at the time that he announced it and he never convinced the director of the Paris Observatory, Giovanni Domenico Cassini, to fully accept it. However, it quickly gained support among other natural philosophers of the period such as Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton. It was finally confirmed nearly two decades after Rømer's death, with the explanation in 1729 of stellar aberration by the English astronomer James Bradley."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Red_Spot "With fluctuations in visibility, Cassini's spot was observed from 1665 to 1713, but the 118-year observational gap makes the identity of the two spots inconclusive. The older spot's shorter observational history and slower motion than the modern spot makes it difficult to conclude that they are the same." 1665-1713 is 48 years

Great Red Spot

The Great Red Spot is a persistent high-pressure region in the atmosphere of Jupiter, producing an anticyclonic storm that is the largest in the Solar System. Located 22 degrees south of Jupiter's equator, it produces wind-speeds up to 432 km/h (268 mph). Observations from 1665 to 1713 are believed to be of the same storm; if this is correct, it...

This is interesting about Hooke too: “On 8 July 1680, Hooke observed the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates. He ran a bow along the edge of a glass plate covered with flour, and saw the nodal patterns emerge.[40][41] In acoustics, in 1681 he showed the Royal Society that musical tones could be generated from spinning brass cogs cut with teeth in particular proportions.”

OK, here's another possible path - focused on the planet Venus:
Ø and removal of o's from words: Venus does not have a moon (interestingly, in the 17th century, Giovanni Cassini reported a moon orbiting Venus, which was named Neith and numerous sightings were reported over the following 200 years, but most were determined to be stars in the vicinity).
Leith atmosphere clues: Venus has an atmosphere.
O=0=o=Ø clue: The atmosphere of Venus was discovered in 1761 by Russian polymath Mikhail Lomonosov - note his surname is four o's each separated by one other character.
Lightning bolt clue: Venus has lightning.
Obscured circles: Venus shows phases as observed from Earth.
White rabbit clue: Venus appears white and the Chinese historically referred to the morning Venus as "the Great White" (Tàibái 太白).
"?NNA" on the hand of the Keep It Simple character: In the Old Babylonian period, the planet Venus was known as Ninsi'anna [NOTE: all fingers would be fully tattooed with the whole name]. The name "Ninsi'anna" translates to "divine lady, illumination of heaven", which refers to Venus as the brightest visible "star". The Sumerians associated the planet with the goddess Inanna. In addition, there is appears to be an "I" "i" between the fingers with the N's - which could also point to Ninsi'anna.
Australia reference with Eureka Stadium: Venus is important in many Australian aboriginal cultures, such as that of the Yolngu people in Northern Australia. The Yolngu gather after sunset to await the rising of Venus, which they call Barnumbirr. As she approaches, in the early hours before dawn, she draws behind her a rope of light attached to the Earth, and along this rope, with the aid of a richly decorated "Morning Star Pole", the people are able to communicate with their dead loved ones, showing that they still love and remember them. Barnumbirr is also an important creator-spirit in the Dreaming, and "sang" much of the country into life.
Gold clues: In Chinese the planet is also called Jīn-xīng (金星), the golden planet of the metal element.
Cassini-Huygens spacecraft: The Cassini space probe performed two gravitational-assist flybys of Venus on April 26, 1998, and June 24, 1999. Giovanni Domenico Cassini also made observations of Venus.

^^ see the Gregorian Calendar stuff?

#

"The reverse side shows an image of Johannes Kepler, a personal acquaintance of Eggenberg's who taught at the former Protestant school in Graz. His first major work, Mysterium Cosmographicum describing the Copernican system, written while he was still in Graz, likely influenced the symbolism of the design of the palace."
..

#

Schloss Eggenberg relies on the Gregorian calendar as a basis for this constructed universe. The palace has 365 exterior windows, one for each day of the year. Of these, 52 are on the 24 rooms of the piano nobile representing the weeks of one year. The 2nd storey contains these 24 state rooms in a ring-shaped arrangement which symbolize the hours in a single day. Every floor in the building bares exactly 31 rooms counting the maximum number of days in a calendar month. The 52 windows of the piano nobile with the 8 windows of the Planetary Room make a total of 60, representing both the number of seconds in a minute and the minutes in an hour.

#

and

#

this wouldn't be complete without a Gold connection

The cycle of paintings by Weissenkircher melds the architectural program with the ornamentation of the palace thereby achieving an allegory of the "Golden Age" ruled over by the House of Eggenberg.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I think most of the Saturn/Titan clues point to a Titan-based perspective of Saturn, which makes me think the Huygens probe is more relevant than the Cassini spacecraft, and therefore we maybe should consider Huygens more. The Eureka/Mars Stadium thing makes me think Huygens crater on Mars should be considered as relevant.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens_(crater)

Huygens (crater)

Huygens is an impact crater on Mars named in honour of the Dutch astronomer, mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens. It is the fifth largest recognizable impact crater on Mars after Utopia, Hellas, Argyre, and Isidis, and the largest one with a near intact rim.
The crater is approximately 467.25 km (290.34 mi) in diameter and can be foun...

Edmond Halley suggested a hollow Earth theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth

Hollow Earth

The Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, the notion was disproven, first tentatively by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, then definitively by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774.
It was still...

Looks a bit like a Ø

“Speculation about the existence of the moons of Mars had begun when the moons of Jupiter were discovered. When Galileo Galilei, as a hidden report about his having observed two bumps on the sides of Saturn (later discovered to be its rings), used the anagram smaismrmilmepoetaleumibunenugttauiras for Altissimum planetam tergeminum observavi ("I have observed the most distant planet to have a triple form"), Johannes Kepler had misinterpreted it to mean Salve umbistineum geminatum Martia proles (Hello, furious twins, sons of Mars).”

Btw, I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but I'm quite sure that Rob presents each of the 3 primary clues twice in all images

So, if "oval" is one of the 3 primary clues, there should be two primary clues (direct references) to it hidden in each image

I think orbits and ovals are two separate 'keys' that went together

“Shepherd” in relation to the Cassini mission: “15 April 2004 – NASA announced that two moons discovered by Voyager 1 were sighted again by Cassini in pictures taken on 10 March: Prometheus and Pandora. These are no ordinary moons, but their gravitational effects on the "F" ring led scientists to call them "shepherd moons". They fascinate all researchers interested in the dynamics of the ring system, because their orbits are close enough that they interact with each other in a chaotic manner. They have a history of defying predictions of their orbits. One of Cassini's missions will be to monitor the movements of these bodies closely.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepherd_moon

Shepherd moon

A shepherd moon (also herder moon or watcher moon) is a small natural satellite that clears a gap in planetary-ring material or keeps particles within a ring contained. The name is a result of the fact they limit the "herd" of the ring particles as a shepherd.
Due to their gravitational effect, they pick up particles and deflect them from their ...

The peakish looking points on the right side of the eye especially looks like they taper and slope too smoothly to be mountain peaks.

quiet silo

Like not craggy or jutting like mountains tend to be, more like following a pattern like how dunes build up based on wind currents and terrain.

slender lodge
#

ohhh

#

makes sense

quiet silo
# timid solstice Like Titans landscape maybe?

Terrain generators and algorithmic things like houdini and world creator tend to make mountain peaks that look like that following strict ridgelines. But real mountains tend to look more like this where slopes will randomly climb again instead of smoothly descending down.

slender lodge
#

but i guess that would contrast from how the eye's 'mountains' look which are very pointy and textbook mountain shaped

quiet silo
#

Yeah if the reflection was based on a real image I would say more likely sand dunes. If they threw something together in a terrain generator it could for sure be mountains. Hard to tell, but for some reason the color palette makes my gut say dunes.

slender lodge
#

i would say that we shouldnt look at the exact shape because that might be digging too deep

#

but i do really like the idea of sand dunes because of the color palette

slender lodge
#

lol apparently titan color palette is like very similar to ur idea too

#

just random

quiet silo
#

Very good point. The heavy bar of light in the iris is interesting too, doesn't feel randomly placed.

slender lodge
#

oh yeah for sure!

#

any clues so far as to what it could be

#

a bar of yellow light overlapping a black oval

quiet silo
#

If it's dunes the caps on the pyramids were solid gold back in their hay day to reflect the light of the sun back out towards the sky, making it look like the pyramids "captured" sunlight. I imagine at their peak the glare would be intense like that.

#

But it seems too long, it didn't shoot the light out like a column lol

slender lodge
#

ooh, wow ive never heard of that

#

how did it look like if it wasnt like a column

quiet silo
#

Well "solid gold" is more of a euphemism they were capped/plated with it.

slender lodge
#

right

quiet silo
#

Probably similar to how looking at a polished mirror in direct sunlight would at best. You'd get an intense glare looking directly at it but given that it would be in the middle of the day the ambient light probably didn't change much if you didn't stare right at the peak.

#

Trying to think of anything else that might create an intense column of light, or glare though and it's tough. Or something that was a solid gold monolith.

slender lodge
quiet silo
#

Yeah exactly like that

slender lodge
#

gold isnt as reflective tho so ig not exactly like this

slender lodge
#

also just randomly wanted to point out that it also looks like a clock's hand pointing to 1200/2400hrs

#

it looks awfully straight and angled 90degrees too

slender lodge
sharp flame
#

Not too sure about this but maybe the light glow around the letters could be pointing towards Diffraction?

slender lodge
#

oh yeah i didnt think of that

#

is it me or part of the logo is different

#

red part is logo in color without diffraction

#

green is colored logo diffraction

#

blue has this overlay/filter on top of it

#

and then theres this black cut out part which cuts directly through the effects (white)

quiet silo
#

Did we already point out that just below the crest of the left side of the logo has what looks like a ridgeline in it?

#

It also looks like that mark along the red line is smudged, like someone smeared their thumb over wet ink.

#

It's tough to say because the mask line is there I think that's what's causing the smudge. The ridgeline look might also just be scoring marks/scratches on the mask, you can kind of make them out on the darker sections of the mask too.

image.png
#

What are hints and what is the rendering/asset team just doing an incredibly good job at adding intense detail to the models 🤔 🤔 🤔 lol

slender lodge
#

how i see it being absurd compared to the rest of the image then either its a design mistake or a hint

#

but id take everything as a hint so yeah because the logo makes no sense to me being this way, partially glowing, partially not glowing, partially overlayed with some filter

#

ok im contradicting myself by looking at it from a technical side of things but in photoshop for masking you can either use a normal lasso tool or a polygonal lasso tool where you can make masks with straighter line to line shapes and so this imo looks very intentional

#

why make 3 lines making that small thing on the bottom left if you can make a straight line going down? it seems intentional to me

Not that I know which program they rendered the picture in either, but I'd hazard a guess that the logo is a result of a plate with a cutout in that shape between BEG and the light source, that would thus mean the light reflecting of her eye is just the light coming through the cutout, overexposing the pixels containing the dark details, thus resulting in a straight line of yellow light in her pupil

A potential lead could be the Transit of Venus

#

predicted by Johannes Kepler

#

and Halley here

#

** "A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon." **

#

and here, on Venus

#

"Galileo’s observation of the phases of Venus provided the first direct observational evidence for Copernican theory"

#

this line is also super important

#

okay okay okay and guess what the ECCENTRICITY (OVALNESS) of Venus' orbit is

#

boom, eccentricity of 0.007

#

it would be great if this were the answer but I have a feeling it still isn't 😭

"Astronomical data are often specified not only in their relation to an epoch or date of reference but also in their relations to other conditions of reference, such as coordinate systems specified by "equinox", or "equinox and equator", or "equinox and ecliptic" – when these are needed for fully specifying astronomical data of the considered type." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(astronomy)

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity. It is useful for the celestial coordinates or orbital elements of a celestial body, as they are subject to perturbations and vary with time. These time-varying astronomical quantities might include, for example, th...

Ahhh gotcha

this was one of the clearer clues

Tyy

nobody's really done anything with it though

as we assumed it was heliocentrism and/or orbits

This all fits p well with that ig

Nice find

sharp flame
#

well it's just that it's been appearing quite a bit

#

when I was looking at Angstrom Units (AU) and the Au in this tier, I was led to Astronomical Units

which mentions the ecliptic

and obviously the eclipse theories

and also the elliptic orbit

okay also, when I search up Angstrom on wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

Equation of time

The equation of time describes the discrepancy between two kinds of solar time. The word equation is used in the medieval sense of "reconcile a difference". The two times that differ are the apparent solar time, which directly tracks the diurnal motion of the Sun, and mean solar time, which tracks a theoretical mean Sun with uniform motion along...

“These alignments suggest that an undiscovered planet may be shepherding the orbits of the most distant known Solar System objects.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine

Planet Nine

Planet Nine is a hypothetical planet in the outer region of the Solar System. Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth. These ETNOs tend to make their close...

There are a few possible connections here: Percival Lowell suggested the existence of planet 9 (10 when Pluto was a planet, then back to 9), he was the astronomer that drew lots of canals on Mars from his observations. The first person to associate canals with Mars was Angelo Secchi (our crash test NamaTama marker guy). He used the name Canale Atlantico" for what later came to be called Syrtis Major Planum.

SO, this got a proper release today for those that pre-ordered it from Bleep, and guess what? The "see on see" I posted wasn't fake. This album is amazing, and so very very full of reverb (I jones for reverb). It's "lush" as anything and is just fantastic. I'm enjoying the WAVs immensely right now.

There was a clue that showed two circles close to one another. I just thought of this as possibility relating to that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator

Particle accelerator

A particle accelerator is a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to very high speeds and energies, and to contain them in well-defined beams.Large accelerators are used for fundamental research in particle physics. The largest accelerator currently active is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland...

#

It could link to quite a few clues - light beams, understanding the Big Bang (time 0), the white rabbit could be a metaphor for a particle beam racing around the accelerator.

#

You could also consider a particle accelerator to be a “Eureka oval”

The egg in the X-ray beam

Scientists have been using DESY's X-ray source PETRA III to analyse the structural changes that take place in an egg when you cook it. The work reveals how the proteins in the white of a chicken egg unfold and cross-link with each other. The method can be of interest to the food industry as well as to the broad field of protein research, as the ...

“Humpty Dumpty” particle discovered

Update 2 April 2018: Did you enjoy our April Fools’ day story? If you want to find out more about what is really going on at CERN, check out our recent updates: home.cern The LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has announced the discovery of Eggeron ηgg (eta-gg), familiarly known as the “Humpty Dumpty” particle, the smallest lu...

#

““It is an eggstraordinary result,” explains Giovanni Passalova, chef of the LHCb collaboration and INFN researcher. “It took us some time to unscramble the data but sunny-side up we cracked it. This result was not over easy to achieve and when we started to hunt for the ηgg, we did not believe we could succeed. At one point, we were treading on eggshells to prevent other collaborations from poaching the data. But, at the end of the day, you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Today, with the discovery of the ηgg, we have finally opened up the path to the great unification between subatomic physics and molecular gastronomy”.” kek

“The World Wide Web began as a CERN project named ENQUIRE, initiated by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and Robert Cailliau in 1990.” Probably mentioned previously, but potentially more important now.

I don’t expect this to be related to the answer, but now that we’re looking at particle accelerators I thought I’d post this for those that haven’t read the story before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski

Anatoli Bugorski

Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski (Russian: Анатолий Петрович Бугорский; born 25 June 1942) is a Russian retired particle physicist. He is known for surviving a radiation accident in 1978, when a high-energy proton beam from a particle accelerator passed through his brain.

It doesn’t seem to lead strongly anywhere though. The one interesting path I found was about the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science mentioned in the article. They are working on the Roman Space Telescope which is named after this woman: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Roman

Nancy Roman

Nancy Grace Roman (May 16, 1925 – December 25, 2018) was an American astronomer who made important contributions to stellar classification and motions. The first female executive at NASA, Roman served as NASA's first Chief of Astronomy throughout the 1960s and 1970s, establishing her as one of the "visionary founders of the US civilian space pro...

It probably is, but with these not very specific clues, I rather not "confirm" the meaning 😂

I think we should still look around particle accelerators given the multiple clues lining up. It could be close to this.

no idea if this has any relation to the hints as I havent kept up, but a particle accelerator also strongly reminds me of the slingshot project thing

Info on the CERN logo: “The interlaced rings, which are a simplified representation of the accelerator chain. The CERN’s current logo dates from 1968, when a decision was made to change the original one. Some 114 new designs were proposed, many of which used CERN’s experiments as inspiration. The final design used the original lettering, surrounded by a schematic of a synchrotron, beam lines and particle tracks. Today’s logo is a simplified version of this.”
