High Res Image From “Prometheus” Unlocked on Viral Website Through Morse Code Dan Koelsch, March 6, 2012March 21, 2012 The viral campaign continues for the Alien prequel that’s not an Alien prequel.

Our own Steve Kidd actually deciphered the code, which can be added to the website’s URL to unveil a stunning high res image, seen below.In case you are not aware, the image is from the film’s trailer, and it shows the holographic star map in the Space Jockey control room (according to our friend Anton Volkov). Let us know if you find any other clues that could reveal more cool things like this. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye out.Prometheus opens in theaters on June 8th.
