What to do at the spinning rings in the Anomaly in Starfield

My favorite thing about Bethesda’s sci-fi ARPG Starfield is the mix of styles of play you can use as you work your way through its quests. Sometimes brains, sometimes brawn, and often a choice between the two or a path through the middle. As you work through the main quests, Into the Unknown, you’ll find yourself inside a mysterious alien temple. Here’s what to do at the spinning rings in the anomaly in Starfield.  

Starfield - Into the Unknown quest spinning rings puzzle

Once inside, the rings in the center of the room begin to spin, and you’re given instructions on how to float up and down while in the chamber. If you look around inside the chamber but outside of the spinning mechanism, you’ll see a cluster of lights (marked above). This will occasionally move. What you need to do is move yourself through this cluster multiple times. Each time you do, the central mechanism will speed up. Eventually, it will rotate fast enough to complete the puzzle.

It’s important to note there is no time limit here, so take your time. Nothing bad is going to happen! Secondly, I found you can use the boost on the pack you’re wearing to zoom around the room, which is a big help in making it to the star cluster before it moves again. Alternatively, just wait in a spot until it is close to easily move to. Again, there’s no rush. Once you’ve flown through the cluster of lights enough times, the mechanism will become a solid circle. Move yourself into the middle of the circle to advance the quest. After that, it's plain sailing.
