Puts the Pharos of Alexandria engraving on the front of the project — the beam sweeps from the tower down to a small ship steering by its light.

Landing page (frontend/landing, serves openscience.sh):

  • Headline moves to the top-left, over the dark sky, so the ship at bottom-left is no longer buried under the text veil.
  • The left-column veil becomes a top-left corner shield plus a light uniform scrim (hsl(30 14% 7% / 0.2)), keeping the headline crisp while the beam and ship stay in view.
  • Drops the grayscale(1) filter — the plate is already monochrome warm sepia, in the same hue family as the site's cream.
  • img/hero.webp / img/hero.jpg replaced (2000×1116).
  • Mobile keeps the bottom-anchored layout; the tower and beam still lead into the headline.

README: the same engraving under the header as a <picture> dark/light pair that follows the GitHub theme — softened to 62% opacity with feathered edges so it melts into the page background.

The Pharos of Alexandria as the hero plate — the beam sweeps from the
tower down to a small ship steering by its light.

Landing (frontend/landing): headline moves to the top-left over the
dark sky, and the left-column veil becomes a corner shield plus a light
uniform scrim so the ship at bottom-left stays visible. The grayscale
filter goes; the plate is already monochrome warm sepia in the same hue
family as the site's cream. Mobile keeps the bottom-anchored layout.

README: the same engraving under the header, soft-faded with feathered
edges, as a dark/light pair that follows the GitHub theme.
