What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a version of the "always has been" astronaut meme. One astronaut floats before the Earth and asks "wait it's all Leïth?" while a second astronaut behind him, wearing a flag patch, points a pistol at his back and answers "always has been." The word "Leïth" appears to be a specific name or in-group term whose meaning is not explained in the image and is unverified. An imgflip watermark sits in the corner. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
