Ø can be used as a symbol to represent a phenyl group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenyl_group
"The word [phenyl] is derived from Greek pheno 'I bear light', commemorating the discovery of benzene by Michael Faraday in 1825 from the oily residue left by the illuminating gas used in London street lamps."
"As a chemist, Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine"
"Kieffer et al. (2006) hypothesized that the geyser activity in the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus originates from clathrate hydrates, where carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen are released when exposed to the vacuum of space through the "Tiger Stripe" fractures found in that area.[28] However, subsequent analysis of plume material makes it more likely that the geysers on Enceladus derive from a salty subsurface ocean.[29]
Carbon dioxide clathrate is believed to play a major role in different processes on Mars. Hydrogen clathrate is likely to form in condensation nebulae for gas giants.
Kamata et al.30 of the University of Hokkaido have proposed that a thin layer of clathrate hydrates thermally insulates the subsurface ocean of liquid water of Pluto, the existence of which is suggested by data from the New Horizons probe."
Potential link between Ø as a symbol for a phenyl group and other Saturn/planetary clues

Euler had a LOT of things named after him
Euler's name is associated with a large number of topics. Euler's work averages 800 pages a year from 1725 to 1783. He also wrote over 4500 letters and hundreds of manuscripts. It has been estimated that Leonard Euler was the author of a quarter of the combined output in mathematics, physics, mechanics, astronomy, and navigation in the 18th century.

"Euler's eyesight worsened throughout his mathematical career. In 1738, three years after nearly expiring from fever,[55] he became almost blind in his right eye. Euler blamed the cartography he performed for the St. Petersburg Academy for his condition,[56] but the cause of his blindness remains the subject of speculation.[57][58] Euler's vision in that eye worsened throughout his stay in Germany, to the extent that Frederick referred to him as "Cyclops". Euler remarked on his loss of vision, stating "Now I will have fewer distractions."[56] In 1766 a cataract in his left eye was discovered. Though couching of the cataract temporarily improved his vision, complications ultimately rendered him almost totally blind in the left eye as well.[37] However, his condition appeared to have little effect on his productivity. With the aid of his scribes, Euler's productivity in many areas of study increased;[59] and, in 1775, he produced, on average, one mathematical paper every week."

hmmm... we hadn't mentioned Cyclops before, so the answer must be a path near, but not exactly that
The fact Huygens spacecraft was blind in one channel (actually I think it was Cassini that was), makes me think it's close to that
Channel A data lost
Huygens was programmed to transmit telemetry and scientific data to the Cassini orbiter for relay to Earth using two redundant S-band radio systems, referred to as Channel A and B, or Chain A and B. Channel A was the sole path for an experiment to measure wind speeds by studying tiny frequency changes caused by Huygens's motion. In one other deliberate departure from full redundancy, pictures from the descent imager were split, with each channel carrying 350 pictures.
Cassini never listened to channel A because of an error in the sequence of commands sent to the spacecraft. The receiver on the orbiter was never commanded to turn on, according to officials with the European Space Agency. ESA announced that the error was a mistake on their part, the missing command was part of a command sequence developed by ESA for the Huygens mission, and that it was executed by Cassini as delivered.
Because Channel A was not used, only 350 pictures were received instead of the 700 planned. All Doppler radio measurements between Cassini and Huygens were lost as well. Doppler radio measurements of Huygens from Earth were made, although they were not as accurate as the lost measurements that Cassini made. The use of accelerometer sensors on Huygens and VLBI tracking of the position of the Huygens probe from Earth allowed reasonably accurate wind speed and direction calculations to be made.

"In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature, most notably Homer's Iliad."

Nice find!
pure loom
I think that the empty set symbol is telling us we need to separate a clue into its individual components as the vesica piscis is the empty set and is therefore not required. So we need to know what is in each of the circles, not what is in the vesica piscis of the Venn diagram. Similarly, the Saturn and Titan clues are (potentially amongst other things) demonstrating the separation of Cassini from Huygens. The separation of 325 into 31 15 (with the 2 coming from the two 1s combining in the vesica piscis part of the Venn diagram) giving us asteroid 3115 Baily, when we already have Baily’s Beads as a clue is a strong confirmation - there’s no way that 3115 can’t be related, and separating 325 into 3115 is the only way to get that. So… if the answer lies within 404 in the same manner, how to we separate 404 into two parts? 44? 4004?

that is true, but that seemed more like a hint to look more closely into James Bond

okay, how could James Bond connect to the answer?

*just my opinion

sorry for sounding blunt haha
but what about James Bond did you have in mind, I mean
sick stone
Some angles around GoldenEye has been discussed I believe
sharp flame
mhm I see
it's just that Bond has only appeared outside the images
so it does seem like the 'idea' of Bond is more like a meta thing
sick stone
the reason I don't believe laser is central to the EE is that it would've been impossible with only the original James Bond hints
If someone finds anything laser related in the 007 namatama I would definitely change my opinion
sharp flame
I don't believe those hints and the 'Do you expect me to talk' hint refer to the same specific thing in Bond
I think they refer to separate things in Bond which connect to slightly different parts
the Greenwich laser and the laser here is a direct connection and it may be as far as that reference goes (I don't think it is though)
and the 'original' Bond hints just refer to something else in this tier
sick stone
I hear you. But if laser is relevant I'd say laser points to range measurement of satellites or astronomical bodies, as they have been very relevant.

check this out :

Horology: the study and measurement of time.
Directly relates to Chaos

Horus is also the Egyptian equivalent of the greek god Apollo
Horus is definitely aviform AND Horus's eye was gouged out

I imagine you guys have covered this already
ø = å = æ = aa
"In Old Swedish the use of the ligature Æ and of Ø (originally also a variant of the ligature Œ) that represented the sounds [æ] and [ø] respectively were gradually replaced by new letters."

We've covered Ø, but where did you get ø=å=æ=aa from? Å is often equated with AA, but never ø or æ as far as I know
Not only that, but æ, ø and å are separate vowels, no more equal than ***i ***and u in the english alphabet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Horus Has an albedo of 0.070
so kind of a "bond albedo"

Yeah I suppose I'm misunderstanding that.

no problem my guy, we need the effort ❤️
I just realised something
the 82/48 clue
we did say R0 or 0R, 0R could mean radius = 0, but if we take 82=R to mean radius and say 48= 48 inches we can link it to Eris and 1924 Horus as they were both discovered here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Oschin_telescope 48 inch aperture
Radius fits with the ø as well
huh
fits with CA as well

The asteroid 16452 Goldfinger was named after a volunteer that helped pack the large photographic glass plate negatives that had accumulated in the basement.

I just realised something
A little thing about that clue is that i think it's supposed to be read as 8/4 2/8 and 4/8 8/2

Something else to consider
pure loom
48/82 = 0.585365853658537
neon stream
2, 0.5
0.5, 4
It would be:
2, 0.25
0.5, 4
quiet silo
8/4 is 2 which .25 or 25% of 8 which is wat 2/8 is. This is also reflected in the other pair
4/8 is .5 or 50% 8/2 is 4 50% of 8
Weird little coincidence
Not sure what it could mean but if that is the correct pairing it seems like it's there for a reason 1/4 and 1/2 in both pairings.
