Abstract
We analyse a certain family of cellular integrals, which are period integrals on the moduli space of curves of genus zero with eight marked points, and give rise to simultaneous rational approximations to and . By exploiting the action of a large symmetry group on these integrals, we construct an infinite sequence of rational approximations to satisfying
