ALT Racks of data servers line a wall, facing toward the right and taking up the entire image. The machines have columns of green and yellow lights at left, and rows of red, white, and blue lights at right.
ALT A horizontal image with a black background, showing a map projection of the sky. An oval shows shades of green, blue, yellow and red with a larger concentration of red points in the bottom half. A large swatch of gray is on the upper right of the oval. A red line appears across the oval, starting from the middle left, then dips down in a curve before going up in a curve and ending on the middle right of the oval.
