It is seen depicting the different black hole renderings surrounded by images of unclear distorted celestial bodies that create a marble finish. Under the title text detailing the chest area, it reads "Simulation by NASA" and has inscriptions on the back that nod to the images used to create the project. The Gaia spacecraft that is mentioned in the bracket is a mission that was launched by the [European Space Agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-space-agency-1) back in 2013 to create the most extensive and precise three-dimensional map of the Milky Way. It surveys 1% of the galaxy stars and uses that information to be studied at Goddard Space Flight Center.
