The Points of the Diamond

Many of you have enquired about the locations of The Points of the Diamond lattice. Eventually this project will be transferred to the Science site.

*(note 1) there was no obvious object at the give location so I am assuming the target is Deep Space or a body that Astronomers have not yet discovered. Further thoughts: the object may be a Supermassive Black Hole causing a pronounced distortion of Space resulting in light being warped.
