You can only experience the puzzles Outer Wilds once, and that makes the experience even more special. Even years after 'completing' the game, however, I find myself thinking about it constantly and sometimes raising questions which challenge my understanding of the Nomai and the solar system! I think it's really fun to practice going after this curiosity and discovering the answers for myself, so I thought I'd share some questions I investigated for those explorers like me looking to fulfill their own curiosity!
So here are questions I've asked myself after finishing the game that you can also investigate!
First the question is revealed, then the results of my own investigation! I encourage you to answer them yourself if you can :)
THESE QUESTIONS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE GAME!
I highly recommend playing yourself before undergoing any of these investigations!

I've yet to personally look into this, but I will soon! I encourage you to find out :) I've yet to personally look into this, but I will soon! I encourage you to find out :)Q: Which Nomai clan established on Giant's Deep and built the Orbital Probe Cannon?
Q: Can you find all of the quantum objects in the solar sytem with the signalscope? How accurate are their positions? (I'm looking at you, Giant's Deep)
