This won’t have the same writing flair as last year’s posts because I’m busy, but here we go:

So, first of all we want to annotate the picture so we know what we’re looking at. And it turns out that it’s 12 constellations

Next we want to read the clue “4T ON3 PO1NT W3 SH4LL 4LL SH1N3 BR1GHT3ST”

This is telling us we want the brightest star in each constellation, so I’ve annotated another copy of the picture

now, we just plonk those stars’ names into the answer box, and the brightest spot on each answer box tells us which letters we need for our anagram. I actually had no idea what the middle one was, but i used an anagram solver which supports wildcard letters to figure out what the word was. Later @internzi put up a log telling us the 13th word.

And here’s the full version of this image

fun fact, the star to the right of spica is called porrima, and tarf/al tarf is also called beta cancri. And when we anagram the letters, we get

Protip: anagram solvers are your friends like seriously good luck guessing the word just based off of the letters unless you like learned it from the SAT word of the day or something like that

it is definitely tricky to figure out what youre supposed to do so if you just have no clue what youre doing, you want to find the brightest star in each of those constellations
