Iris Is an Astronomical Image Processing Software. Seems They use her too much and she has gone Rampant.
This at least Explains all the Star images, If this is old sorry.

On a side Note, if you put the Snpow into a Graphing Calculator. It is 1/2 a Parabola, that goes North East Forever, And the E determins How Fast it gets Wide....

I did it as y=Sqrt(x/PI)*E
you can leave E out if it don't work, and just use Random Numbers to see how it Effects it.

I'm willing to bet that this is an unrelated coincidence. Strange, though, how it was updated right after the ARG got started (not counting the Warthog VR or the newly-found May glyph).

Could these be related? Found in the star program site.

It's probably a dyson sphere, but I'm just putting it out there.

I doubt it. The image you're talking about is one of a page of examples dealing with images taken with a fisheye lens, then having lines added as sort of reference points. Here's the page with the image in context. http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/fisheye/test.htm
A bigger version of your thumbnail is near the bottom.

this is a dyson sphere:



a bit big for the forerunners, bigger than all the halos put together, i think whats in that image is a shield world rather than a dyson sphere

well, as far as we know iris is just the name for this viral marketing campaign

One of the newest ideas found recently...I like it, but I'm not sure if it's related, either.

More investigation may be required...

This is pretty interesting. Can we track the ip adress to see if it is microsoft owned like SOTA and the servers?

What about that Iris download it has? Anyone try? (I won't since it doesn't look related and I don't know where that site's been )

The Yahoo Group for support for this piece of software was started 8 March 2004. WHOIS shows 1st astrosurf.com first registered 1 July 1997. Astrosurf appears to be a French company.

Exceedingly improbable that it is related, but good find!
