11. Collect the Disk
- Turn back to the helm and look right to find a disk. Collect it.
12. Align the Disk Hands

Final Star Navigation Puzzle
17. Find the Stars
- Drag the view around until you locate five distant bright stars. Use the handles on the screen to move the orange circles and align them with the stars. Adjust the handles to zoom and rotate until all circles are aligned with the stars.
18. Complete the Star Alignment
- Back in the ship, broken rings appear, aligning with the marked stars. Move to the helm wheel control to focus on one ring and use the handles to connect the broken pieces.
19. Complete All Rings
- After connecting each ring, move to the next until all rings are completed, opening a passage for the ship to travel home.
