Earth Orbital Archive

What this device is

Earth is drawn at today’s place on its orbit, counting from perihelion in early January. The ring around it is a picture of a low-orbit archive, not a live satellite feed. In October 2018 the Arch Mission Foundation and SpaceChain put a copy of the English Wikipedia on a CubeSat — the first public archive placed in orbit around Earth.

The bands are the ones people use when they try to read the Akashic records: theta near 6 Hz, the Schumann fundamental, a 40 Hz layer, then 432, 528, 852, and 963. Listen if you want the tone. Open a seal for a composed fragment and a plain note on what that frequency actually is. This is an instrument for attention, not a receiver.
