Confused me.
I barely know anything about stars and constellations.
I think that it means the 'smartest*' star with the word(s)/number(s)-from-the-pic. But what is that? : <

Are you a bold thinker? Can you see the "big picture"?

energy thief ....this level 23 is getting a little rediculious.....i see the "big picture" and like others I am now a NASA scientist however apparently I am not good with hyper text......
...another hint at the format please??
I have the *, just need to know if it is the *-itself or the **#* that it is a part of??

Hmmm... let's add to the confusion. There's something wrong in the source code. Something intentional, but that makes no sense.
If you can figure out what that is, it might help you decide what to search for...

What is wrong in the source code...could it be the image limitations? Sorry if I said too much...

hey all (1st post)
The only thing funky I see in the source code are the quotes around the image sizes.....

my colleague solved it almost instantly. he confided in me that he did an astro module in uni, the lucky bugger. Personally I googled the interesting things that I saw, and then tried the few combinations that I was led to.

This one isn't accually that bad. Google is your friend...if you know two of the coords.

Gah! The fun stops here, doesn't it?! Well, I suppose I could either try to guess at a constellation, try to find ET's HTML "mistake", or wade through Wikipedia's star lists with the horribly illegible coordinates.
However, I'd prefer to simmer in my own bile for a while. Any hints -- at all -- would be appreciated.

For everyone that doesn't now what the big picture is, right click the white dot, choose properties and copy the pictures location into the browser

What do we have to find out? Constellation, Star Name...

Still no luck. Here's what I have so far:
One coordinate of the star, in the picture, is Q:GB:GB if I'm reading it correctly. However, we need the second coordinate. Where do we get it? Quite possibly, it's the "mistake" inside the source, but even then, we'll need some system to look up these coordinates. Any suggestions?
On top of all that, I could be going about this the wrong way. A "star" could be Tom Cruise or Marilyn Monroe; many considered Einstein the "brightest"; who's to say that you can't fall into the "bigger (w)hole"? This may be looking too deeply into things, but if I know this puzzle, there will often be several paths leading to the answer.
Does anyone have anything to add?

Forget those people. You are looking for an astronomical star - a very bright one. Coordinates are correct and enough, BUT NOT for googling. Try instead googling for a list first.

1st post, hint goes: don't google for left descension...
hope this doesn't spoil anyone's smaller image size...
but leads him to a place in the bigger astral scheme...

On wikipedia/google the answer to this puzzle was on all pages I found a different one. But when consulting the charts I think I would have agreed with energythief ...

Okay, stuck again here...
I have the comment from the source code... and I can see the right ascention in the "bigger picture"... and I've google'd the brightest stars... I've looked for stars with that right ascension... I found the brightest star in the sky, found out it's "bigger whole" (constellation) and looked for other stars in that constellation with the RA listed but the RA listed is no where near the brightest star in the sky.... I also see the obvious "mistake" in the source, but don't know what to do with it...
No luck. What am I missing?

I think you did it incorrectly, but I'm not so sure.
PM me with what that brightest star you found to be.
