So, I have to admit, I get really bored with Bungie being dark. So I just started poking around the website, finding weird links. Eventually, I reached a set of images titled "Nebula". These are pretty weird, and many other's have seen them on this site before. They are currently the background image of Bungie.net.

Lower Nebula
Upper Nebula
Nebula Complete; upper is below.
Nebula Complete; upper is above.

The first two links above are the URLs I found that are on Bungie.net. Now, in the URLs it says either "upper_neb" or "lower_neb". I've interpreted "neb" as Nebula. I could be wrong, but for the sake of discussion lets just call it Nebula for now.

Anyway, the third link is both halves put together, but with the "upper Nebula" put underneath the "lower Nebula". So, according to the URLs, this is wrong placement. In my opinion though, this looks right, as the left "continent" connects perfectly.

The fourth link is the two halves were they were meant to be; upper above and lower below. However, this looks pretty weird to me, and I can't make any observations about it.

Which is why I come to you, Community. What do you think these "Nebulas" mean?

EDITS GO BELOW HERE
Oh My God I See Stars (in URL). However, it's black; there are no stars.
...Until you edit it, in which case you can see the stars.

The last image defnitely looks like a map.

My thoughts as well. But if it is, then where is the "treasure"?

I know its the background of the site. And since it's connected to their next IP, I want to know if there are any clues to gather from the images.

It really doesn't look like there is a treasure; if only we could get the colour to it instead of the black and white, it could be something.

I'm going to go with Qbix and his "nipples" interpretation.

Who knows, there might be. I know Bungie is cryptic, but I don't know if they are that cryptic.

It doesn't really mean anything.

By the way, you connected them wrong. One second...

It is like cloud interpretation. You could have 10 different people looking at the same cloud and they would all see something different.

Found some new stuff, I'll update it in the OP in a second.

Another link on bungie.net. URL says "oh my god i see stars"
It looks plain black despite the description, until you edit it.

Edited.

This is why I absolutely hate all of the Halo spam that's been going on in the Bungie Universe forum.

Yeah, if I didn't save this one I would've had to comb through a few pages of topics.

If this gets hot topic I'm getting myself banned for a week.

Is it just me or if you took a Rorschach Ink-Blot Test of the Nebulas, you would see some feminine appendages and whatnot.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Oh My God I See Stars is a movie reference, 2001: A Space Odyssey I believe.
[edit] Darn my hunches. It's close, the actual quote from the movie is full of stars not I see stars. [/edit]

I think these "nebulas" are just for show. A few pictures of stars on this website seems pretty normal to me.

I guess, but there's nothing to lose if we try and find more stuff from it!

Those aren't Nebulae, they are topographic maps.

Also someone in the Bungie Universe section has already found quite a bit of info on it. You should check there. Anything discussed here is just a derivative of that thread.

Edit: Here's the thread
