What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a stock solar-system illustration of the sun and labeled planets from Mercury to Pluto, captioned "Crazy how nature does that." Earth's place in the lineup has been filled with a flat disc map rather than a globe, and the understatement of the caption is the joke. The flat-Earth substitution is reproduced as found, as satire, not as a claim. A faint stock-image watermark sits in one corner. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
