If you were the guy from reddit who cleaned this image up initially then Tremendous work. one of the highlights of the ARG so far for me, great work.
This is incredible
Was it in the source code?
No, click on the email icon, then click on the glitched starfield image, then click on the text below it.

That image (map.jpg) is an edited/glitched part of the superlumina-6c Header.jpg used on all pages but the front page:
The actual source for this image is another stock image and can be found here:
It appears to have TV interlaced scan lines added, which could have been done in PhotoShop. After that, bars have been shifted and/or parts moved to get to this result. No clues have so far been found.
Edit: Discord user virodoran pointed out a good reason for this file being called map.jpg. In the template used, it shows a map, which could have been a static image by default and replaced with this new image.
You can find the template used here:

It also seems to have been glitched using this tool (thanks to discord user Randomiser), meaning that there is probably no visual puzzle to solve there.
Ah yes, a tool that does it all at once, makes perfect sense.
This probably comes from the template, too

Just changed the date to “2033, 7, 10” for atlas. (But strange you got a different one?)
Oh, interesting. I never could find a template for that part, so I thought that was meaningful. It might be worth checking every now and then to see if that date keeps updating, but I bet it was just that once.
