Myst Hints
What do these access keys mean?
1 of 7: Have you read the book on the age in the library?
2 of 7: Then you probably know that the constellations play a bit role in this age.
3 of 7: Go to the planetarium-type room next to the library and sit in the viewing chair.
4 of 7: Stars are best seen at night.
5 of 7: So turn off the lights in the room and take a look at the sky.
6 of 7: Specifically, look at the sky on the dates and times given in the codes. I don't think you have to be exact to the nearest minute, but you certainly should try to view the sky to a time as close as possible.
7 of 7: Once you've entered the dates, press the flashing button, and the sky as it was then will appear on your monitor.
