Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the provided coordinates. Solve the puzzle below in order to determine the actual coordinates of the cache.

As billionaires presumably give up on saving planet Earth and look for escape routes into the heavens, they (and we) might want to research a little on the celestial bodies they might encounter (or might want to avoid encountering), as they invade that territory in the sky which has historically been off limits to mere mortals.




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Special Notes about the 2021 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, if one even happens in 2022, as we didn't have one in 2020 and it looks dubious as to whether we'll have one in 2021). The real challenge is to see whether I can even figure out how to create a new puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: I did verify that the internet could find matches for all seven images (though I did not find matches on a single site).
