You Live in a Cosmic Hole... And Nobody Told You

What to study

Expectation Violation

Most people picture space as evenly full of stars and galaxies. This shows a crowded universe with a huge empty hole, and our galaxy as a speck inside it. 'You Live in' makes that personal, and you want to know why we're there.

How the packaging works
Title

'Cosmic Hole' is the everyday word, not the astronomers' 'void', and 'Nobody Told You' plays up the idea that you've missed something big about where you live.

Thumbnail

A thick band of stars around an empty black space makes the gap look huge, and MILKY WAY with an arrow tells you the tiny dot is home.

Remix this

When a true fact changes how viewers see something they take for granted, show it as a map with 'you are here' on a tiny dot. Name it in plain words in the title and make it about them.
