I dunno. It's fine I guess. It's strange the image has become so indelibly associated with Joy Division ... according to Wiki, the band plucked the image from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy, and reversed the colors. I'm sure some Joy Division fans are mad about Disney's "appropriation" ... but it was somewhat of an appropriated image to begin with.

Anyway, I paintshopped a thing:
