Awesome, thanks!

If only "unreachable" was spelled correctly at upper left. I assume the artist is not an English speaker.

If you look through the creators website ... he does note that people have noticed and he's made the correction on current versions

The joke is that we think we are important and significant in the universe

If more people understood that cosmic bit of humour, we'd probably treat each other a bit nicer.

Due to the accelerating expansion of the universe, the individual clusters of gravitationally bound galaxies that make up galaxy filaments are moving away from each other at an accelerated rate; in the far future they will dissolve.

This has always been mega sad to me.
