Attached photographs (1)

inferred link These pictures did not come with a source record of this formation. Each one is a single-photograph archive entry whose own date and place the index matched to this formation; nothing about the formation itself comes from them. The rule, the score and the evidence are printed with each record so the link can be checked, and the credit stays with the photograph.

Source records

What each source published, side by side. A row whose values differ across the sources is marked: the archive prints the disagreement rather than choosing a winner.

Texts

3 document(s), each attached to the record whose page hosts it. These are other people's words: quoted here in short attributed extract, with a link to the page that published each one in full.

Claims about this formation

11 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Peter van den Burg, Temporary Temples. A claim row is a record of what an author wrote, with the sentence verbatim. It is not evidence about the formation, and nothing here is tested on this page.

Up to 3 quote(s) per type, verbatim from the document:

• “As far as i can tell, based on the orientation of the formation in the field, and websites that allow you to track objects in the sky, if you stood in the formation at sunrise on april 4th, looking down along the base of the cross, you would be looking straight at the Orion spacecraft carrying the Artemis II mission.” astronomical · Peter van den Burg · source page
• “It may also have a connection to the recent Artemis Mission to the moon.” astronomical · Temporary Temples · source page

• “The crew of four, looking down on the (astrological symbol of) earth.” landscape · Peter van den Burg · source page

Geometry

4 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.

Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.

Diagrams that look like these: cc fb9898b3 · tt cf7317b4 · tt 0709ffdf— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
