OBSERVATION

Your cabinet is waiting.

Aiming at F4

BRIGHT HEAD → DIRECTION OF TRAVEL Extend tracks backward

01 / PIN THE ORIGINS

Trace each streak away from its bright head. Shared paths meet at a radiant. Pin both on grid intersections.

02 / SORT THE STREAKS

Tap a record to cycle: — → A → B → stray. A path must point away from its radiant.

Start with three paths that seem to meet. There is no clock.

Read the sky

Meteors from a shower appear to travel away from the same point: its radiant. In this fictional flat sky chart, all shower paths meet exactly on a grid intersection.

Turn on “Extend tracks backward” to see each streak’s trail.
Select Amber or Teal, then click an intersection to pin it. Swap A/B freely: either naming works.
Assign every numbered streak to A, B or stray. Click a streak record repeatedly to cycle its group.
Certify your observation. Both origins and every assignment must agree.

Keyboard: focus the chart, arrows move, Enter pins. A/B selects a radiant; U undoes. Buttons also work with Tab and Enter.

Three stars for an unaided solution, two after one hint, one after more. Checking and tracing are always free. No timer, penalties or lockouts. Progress stays on this browser.
