So Scorpius or Messier? None of which i think has anything to do with Egypt but I might be wrong.

Nice googling Evilkeen!
Here goes my leap of faith !-)
B1620-26 is a star system.
A star system . . . brings back (sweet) memories to Cypher III.
III . . . we all know what 'next puzzle' that refers to . . .

But . . . don't think about what "12,400 light-years away " might mean in reference to the next puzzle . . .

Dude! You missed the cyphers?? :shock:

Cypher I and II were excellent... probably the most enjoyable online puzzles SW have produced so far! Cypher III was a bit too far out for me, I guess thats where the current style of online puzzles and games started :roll:

I didn't know about google earth sky either... cool!

Yes, I would have enjoyed those, having read about them... I think the last one was solved in September 2007 and I joined in November!
